This old Tibetan iron wall hanging depicts Garuda, also known as Khyung, the powerful mythical bird revered in Tibetan Buddhist traditions.
The sculpture features a fierce bird-like face, prominent horns, beautifully spread wings, powerful clawed feet, and a serpent held across its body.
The original old painted surface displays rich green, turquoise, deep red, black, and golden tones, with visible wear, patina, and weathering developed over time.
The detailed metalwork and expressive design give this old Himalayan piece a distinctive character.
In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Garuda symbolizes protection, spiritual power, and the overcoming of obstacles and harmful forces.
A metal hanging ring is attached to the back for wall display.
