Here we have an absolutely beautiful
sterling silver (large) and 800 silver (small) garuda pendant.
Gorgeous detailing on the front and a flat
back.
This amulet is hollow and therefore quite
lightweight!
Two slightly different smalls and a larger one is offered.
.....................................................................................
"Garuda is a large mythical bird, bird-like creature,
or humanoid bird that appears in both Hindu and
Buddhist mythology.
Garuda is known as the eternal sworn enemy of the Nāga serpent
race and known for feeding exclusively on snakes, such behavior
may have referred to the actual Short-toed Eagle of India.
The image of Garuda is often used as the charm or amulet to protect
the bearer from snake attack and its poison, since the king of
birds is an implacable enemy and "devourer of serpent"."
