Still with remains of gilding, this superbly detailed casting represents
the adaption of Garuda, a central figure within Hindu mythology and
the animal-vehicle (vâharana) of Vishnu. For further discussion of the
increasing important role of Garuda within the context of late Bayon
sculpture see P.D.Sharrock, ‘Garuda, Vajrapani and religious change
in Jayavarman VII’s Angkor’, Journal of Southeast Asian Studies,
vol.40, no.1, Feb. 2009, pp.111. The complexity and attention to
detail at the front and back to create the abstract wings and feather
is characteristic of the style of the Bayon, compare with another in
S.E.Lee, The sculpture of Cambodia, Asia House Gallery, New York,
1969, p.96, no.57 and another in the Minneapolis Institute of Art
(70.11) and Norton Simon Museum of Art (M.1974.16.08).

The striding position of Vishnu on the shoulder and back of Garuda
is shared by an example held in the Birmingham Museum of Art
(1982.88) in contrast to the more common hieratic stance with both
feet on his shoulders (See lot 83).
