This spectacular sculpture of Garuda’s wings was hand carved in wood by local artisans on the island of Java, made with ancient techniques.

The Garuda is a legendary creature described as the king of birds. He’s known as a protector with incredible powers to fight injustice and destroy evil, a symbol of great force and speed. In countless stories around Southeast Asia Garuda also symbolizes the virtue of knowledge, bravery, loyalty, and discipline. He’s had a great cultural importance in Indonesia since antiquity and is the country’s national symbol.

The statue comes complete with the black metal stand and its story printed out for you inside a beautiful envelope. Being artisan crafted, every piece is an original, showcasing the natural beauty of the wood with organic imperfections and cracks.  The handmade metal support carries its own authenticity, with subtle imperfections and the potential for a natural patina to emerge over time.

Dimensions: ca 60 X 39,5 X 12cm with the stand
