A silver brooch depicts Garuda with a human torso and head, facing our left in profile with his mouth slightly open. He is entwined with a scaled Naga serpent that curls around his body to form a textured, irregular border. Etched patterns and hammered details cover the silver, with dark patina in the deep recesses. A floral pendant hangs from his neck as he kneels within the serpent's winding coils.
