This vintage brass Nandi from Karnataka is a striking representation of Shiva's devoted vahana, or vehicle. Crafted with great attention to detail, Nandi, the sacred bull, is depicted in a seated position, symbolizing patience and devotion. His posture exudes calm and strength, with finely carved features including a serene expression, large curved horns, and a powerful, muscular form. The craftsmanship highlights traditional elements, such as the ornate jewelry around Nandi's neck and detailed embellishments on the saddle or blanket draped over his back. A removable Naga on the back further enhances the symbolism, representing divine protection and the connection to Shiva. A natural patina, developed over time, adds to the piece's authenticity and antique charm.
Care instructions: Wipe the piece with a soft, dry cloth. Do not expose it to direct sunlight, dampness, heat or cold.
