迦樓羅（梵語 Garuda），漢譯金翅鳥或金翅大鵬鳥，源自印度神話，為毗濕奴天之坐騎，後成為佛教天龍八部的重要護法神之一。

其形象威猛雄健，鳥首人身或作巨型猛禽之姿，金翅尖喙，象徵摧伏毒害、守護正法。唐代佛教藝術深受印度與中亞影響，此類迦樓羅形象常以浮雕形式出現於佛龕上方、造像碑碑首或石窟藻井，位居主尊佛像之上，與飛天、力士共同構成護持佛法的莊嚴場景。

此件唐代石雕迦樓羅首尺寸達33.5厘米，為較大型的浮雕殘首，保存精良，配以特製木座。雕工雄渾有力，細節生動，充分展現盛唐佛教造像豐滿雄健的時代風格與中印文化交融的藝術成就，是研究唐代護法體系與石刻藝術的珍貴例證。

A Stone Relief Fragment of the Head of Garuda, Tang Dynasty

Garuda (Sanskrit: Garuda), known in Chinese as Jialouluo or the Golden-Winged Bird, originates from Indian mythology as the mount of Lord Vishnu. Adopted into Buddhism, it became one of the Eight Legions (Tianlong Babu) and an important Dharma protector. Depicted as a majestic bird-headed figure or colossal raptor with golden wings and a sharp beak, Garuda symbolizes the conquest of poisons and the protection of the Buddhist teachings.

In Tang dynasty Buddhist art, influenced by Indian and Central Asian traditions, Garuda images frequently appear in high relief on the upper sections of Buddha niches, stele tops, or cave ceilings, positioned above the main deity alongside apsaras and guardian figures to form a celestial protective ensemble.

This Tang dynasty stone relief fragment of Garuda’s head measures a substantial 33.5 cm, making it a large and impressive example among surviving relief heads. Skillfully carved with powerful, vigorous features and well-preserved details, it is mounted on a custom wood stand. The piece exemplifies the robust, full-bodied aesthetic of High Tang Buddhist sculpture and the dynamic cultural synthesis between China and India. It stands as a rare and important artifact for the study of Tang protective iconography and stone carving art.
