Antique Buddhist Sculpture of Garuda from Private Collection. Tibetan or Indian origin. Weight - 1 1/4 Lb Height - 5 in Length - 5 in Weight- 7 in In Buddhism, the Garuda (Sanskrit; Pāli: garuḷā) are enormous predatory birds with a wingspan of 330 yojanas. They are described as beings with intelligence and social organization. They are also sometimes known as suparṇa (Sanskrit; Pāli: supaṇṇa), meaning "well-winged, having good wings". In Tibetan Buddhism, the garuda is one of the Four Dignities—animals that represent characteristics of a bodhisattva. The four animals are the dragon representing power, the tiger representing confidence, the snow lion representing fearlessness, and the garuda representing wisdom. In many stories Garuda symbolises the virtue of knowledge, power, bravery, loyalty, and discipline. As the vehicle of Vishnu, Garuda also bears the attributes of Vishnu, which symbolise preservation of cosmic order.
