\"\"<\/a>Q: Sending pictures. It\u2019s probably not valuable, but it is very unique. I look forward to hearing back from you. Vicky, 1666<\/p>\n

A: Garuda is the bird god, an important character in both Buddhist and Hindu mythologies. It is based on huge eagle who rules the sun and skies. He can capture anything he wants with his powerful claws. Wearing these masks costumed dancers perform religious ceremonies in several Asian countries. <\/p>\n

Your papier mache mask is good looking and traditional in style. I’m guessing the height is about one foot. It could have been used, but was likely made for tourists and collectors. Could you share with us in the comment box some more information– such as who, when, where, and how much did you pay? Thanks, Bob \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
