Antique Carved GARUDAHALF BIRD/ HALF MAN Wood Panel India From our collection! But still something we knowlittle about. I think it came from a larger panel. We bought it years ago at an estate sale. Garuda, a half man and half bird being. I believe this creatureis from one of India’s religious traditions. I also found a book called Empires and Exchanges in Eurasian LateAntiquity: Rome, China, Iran, and the ... where itreferences priests who are part bird and... part man engraved on each side of theYuhong sarcophagus. Referencing Zoroastrian beliefs. Ask questions if you have them.

Measurements are taken in metrics and in some cases the imperialsystem (inches/feet). If you’re unsurewhere to find the millimeters of an item, your ruler usually has ‘mm’ on theopposite side of the inches. On that side you’ll see the numbers 1, 2, etc. Number1 equals 10 mm/millimeter. Each hash mark equals 1mm. See? Easy Peasy!
