This intricately carved Garuda sculpture originates from Sebatu Village, a region renowned for its skilled woodcarvers. In Hindu Balinese tradition, Garuda symbolizes strength, freedom, and divine protection. As the sacred mount of Vishnu, it represents the connection between the spiritual and earthly realms. With its wings spread wide, Garuda conveys transcendence and guardianship, making it a revered figure in temple iconography.
 
Crafted from jackfruit wood, a material prized for its durability, fine grain, and warm golden hue, this sculpture has developed a rich patina over time. Created in the early 2000s, it reflects the continued legacy of Sebatu’s master artisans, whose woodcarving traditions preserve Bali’s sacred narratives and artistic heritage.
