From Indonesia, a hand-crafted work of art with amazingly intricate details. Around 9 inches tall, this Garuda is the perfect guardian for anyone’s space.

According to Wikipedia:  The Garuda is described as the king of the birds with a kite-like figure. He is shown either in the form of a giant bird with partially open wings, or as a man with wings. Garuda is generally portrayed as a protector with the power to swiftly travel anywhere, ever vigilant and an enemy of every serpent.

This particular carving represents both forms, and is unusual.
