Lintel with Garuda

Cleveland Museum of Art

Rectangular stone carving with worn, light brown surface. The carving depicts a scene with a central humanoid figure on the left and a creature on the right. The humanoid figure has a crown on its head, earrings, and its hands are positioned in front of its body, with fists clenched. The humanoid figure's facial features include small eyes and a smiling mouth. The creature on the right appears to have a bird-like head with a large beak and a crown on its head. The creature's body resembles a serpent or dragon with a curving form. The background of the carving features intricate swirling patterns and foliage. The top edge of the stone has rough, uneven surfaces, while the sides and bottom have smoother surfaces. The stone carving appears to be a lintel. The carving style suggests it may be from Southeast Asia, possibly from a temple or other ancient structure.
