    mythological creature, Garuda, “Krut” in Thai.

    and
    4 inches deep

    Bangkok
    , Thailand. Act
    ual age is unknown.
    It is in great condition as it can be seen in the photos. It's one of a kind and when it's gone, it's gone.
    It would make a wonderful and unique Christmas gift
