Colorful Tibetan Garuda Mask 22"
Item #4n6
This wood mask is a one of a kind mask, hand carved by the artists of Nepal.
This mask is of Garuda which is a mythical bird or bird-like creature prominent to the mythologies of Hinduism and Buddhism. The Garuda is also the national symbols of Indonesia and Thailand as well as featuring heavily in India and Mongolia.
In Hinduism, Garuda as represented by this mask is the mount of god Vishnu and feeds solely on its enemy, the serpents or Naga. Garuda is also credited with bringing nectar from heaven to earth and has served as the mighty transport for god-warriors in important battles. In Buddhism, the Garuda represents a race of mighty bird-like beings with four kings whose enemies are the serpent-dragon-like race of Naga.
This mask represents the bird-like nature of the
Garuda, with great beak and ears. Even though the Garuda has the head of a bird,
horns and crowns are added as with this masks to ascribe it the connation of
being king of the birds and their forebear. The malevolent look and the brows of
fire are placed to show Garuda as the devourer and immortal warrior.

"Hello Tim
Sorry for the slight delay but I just wanted to say how delighted Nicola was with the mask and the picture. They were both in remarkably good condition given the amount of journeying they'd done and that space age packaging of yours is excellent.
Best regards and thanks
again"
