A spectacular image of Garuda Struggling with a Snakelike Naga. A metaphor for the constant struggle within us all, between nations & in the whole universe.The group is 10 inches tall and 12 1/2 inches wide, made of gilded bronze and dates to the 1800s.In Asian stories, the giant, birdlike Garuda constantly attacks snakelike Nagas. But this is no simple tale of good versus evil. The duo is identified with many pairs of opposites, including light and dark, the Sun and Moon, upper a...nd lower, air and water, and Buddhism and other religions.Like many myths, a confusing story and may lack directional logic.Just like the senseless struggles within us all, between political parties and even nations at war.PHONE or TABLET VIEWING MAY MISS A GOOD DEAL OF THE DESCRIPTION & MANY PHOTOS BELOW BUDDHA: Antique Tibetan "Garuda Struggles With Naga" Gilded Bronze, 1800s, Large
