Story of The Flying Winged Spirit Guardians (also sometimes called "Cradle Guardians") myth goes all the way back ancient Majapahit Mythology, the roots of Balinese culture and art. Typically these carvings have been used in temples or homes since ancient times to ward off evil spirits. They are always hung in a high spot, or if a statue placed on a beam or shelf looking down towards a door or window.
It is believed that a Flying Guardian placed in one's home or sacred space will drive away evil spirits and protect the premises from harm.
Each item may have differences in placement of painting or carving. This is not a flaw
