Extant andesite representions of Garuda from Java are exceedingly rare. Compare elaborate jewelry elements, lotus plinth, and particular style of vajraparyankasana to a circa 9th century andesite Nairrita from Central Java, see J. Fontein, The Sculpture of Indonesia, Washington D.C. and New York, 1990, p. 127, cat. 8.
