Garuda is a minor Hindu god who is generally Lord Vishnu's mount (vahanam). Garuda is represented as a muscular man with a golden body, a white face, crimson wings, an eagle's beak, and a crown on his head. This ancient god was thought to be enormous, big enough to shut out the sun. The Garuda is unusually represented in Nepalese folk legends. They're the magnificent golden-winged Peng birds. They may also grow huge or little, as well as come and disappear at will. A Peng bird dries out the sea with one flap of its wings, allowing it to devour all the exposed dragons. It may flatten the mountains by flinging them into the sea with another flap of its wings. This brass lamp is a Nepalese ritual light with the Garuda holding lamps hanging from a pedestal by a chain. This artwork represents Vishnu's Vahana's capacity to expel darkness and negativity with the flapping of his wings. In the form of light from the lamps, he also offers wisdom to the devotees. The lamp looks antique due to the blue-green patina on the surface of the statue and can attract attention for being an antique item.
