Mini Indian Garuda papier-mâché mask 10 cm

Garuda Mask, the Sacred Eagle – 10 cm

Garuda is the mythical eagle of Hindu tradition, famous for being the mount of the god Vishnu. A powerful and majestic figure, he symbolizes strength, speed, courage, and absolute devotion. In many temples in South India, Garuda is depicted facing the shrines, sculpted or painted, as a protective figure watching over the sacred places.

This small wall mask features the characteristic traits of Garuda, with his expressive face, imposing demeanor, and carefully crafted details. Despite its small size, it has a real decorative presence and immediately brings an original and spiritual touch to your interior.

The eagle's face is hand-modeled in tamarind fiber paste, air-dried, then painted with a fine brush to render its vivid and powerful appearance.

With a height of approximately 10 cm, this compact size is particularly easy to integrate into an existing decor. It can be displayed alone on a small wall surface, placed on a shelf, or combined with several masks to create an original and colorful gallery wall.

A small piece, a true character

As each mask is made from natural materials and entirely by hand, slight variations in texture, color, or finish may be present. These particularities are not defects: they bear witness to the artisan's handiwork and give each piece its unique character.
