KNEEILING GARUDA BRONZE INDIA 18TH CENTURY Dimensions: Height 6,6 cm Wide 4,8 cm Depth 5,8 cm Weight: 157 grams A small cast-bronze Garuda shown kneeling on one knee upon a rectangular pedestal decorated with incised geometric ornament. The mythical bird-man spreads his wings behind the body and wears an elaborate conical headdress and jewellery; the pronounced beak-like face and almond-shaped eyes give the figure an immediately recognisable avian character. Garuda is the mount of Vishnu and one of the most enduring protective beings in Hindu imagery. His combination of human and bird features embodies speed and celestial power, while kneeling representations emphasise devotion and service to the deity. The compact format suggests an image intended for close viewing within a domestic or small shrine setting. The bronze has a rich brown patina with local green oxidation and wear. The left hand is broken.
