Balinese Carved Vishnu Riding Garuda 24 2003 Bali ONE OF A KIND Fast Shipping

  
An awesome statue of Lord Vishnu, the preserver, riding on the shoulders of his vahana, or vehicle, the eagle kind Garuda! The pose of the sculpture is very Balinese as you often see it when traveling around the island where in India, Vishnu is not depicted in this pose. Garuda is also very Balinese in style, looking more like an eagle than his Indian looks more like a man.

Garuda's wide array of plummage is exceptional with his wings outstretched and his tail feathers rising above Vishnu's head! Garuda is slightly crouched with his hands supporting the feet of Vishnu.

Vishnu is smiling while holding a chakra in his left hand and his right hand in the vitarkamudra of discussion or debate. Definitely One Of A Kind. Measuring 11 x 24 x 5. This was carved in 2003 out of Sandalwood.
