Antique carved wooden chofa or (chof ah) featuring the mythical bird Garuda, vehicle of the god Vishnu. In Thai Buddhism, Garuda is a royal and spiritual symbol representing power, justice and protection. As such, these ridge ornaments ward off malevolent spirits and attract blessings to buildings and their occupants, while embodying the aesthetics and spirituality of Buddhist temples.
An example from Thailand (Siam), circa early 19th century.
Sold with its steel base, equipped with 4 adjustable feet and a tilt adjustment screw.
Provenance: Estate of Asian art collector and dealer Claude de Marteau.
This piece is sold with a certificate of provenance.
H (with base) 141 CM X P 20 CM X W 18 CM.
H without base 121 CM.
Base W 34 CM X D 28.5 CM.
