Nandi is arguably the most-loved bull in the subcontinent. The trusted vahana of Lord Shiva, Nandi is immortally devoted to Him. In this fine brass sculpture of the divine bull, He wears a joyous composure of countenance that borders on bliss. His head is turned up slightly leftwards, His eyes directed straight ahead at probably the approaching Lord Shiva. Note the gorgeous golden adornments from the tip of His horns to the base, spreading across His temple.
The cloth on His back has been fashioned with magnificent detail. It accommodates His hump as it cascades down to the fold of His legs. Something akin to anklets graces His hooves, one of which is blocked from view by His lovingly coiled tail. A necklace of bells graces His gentle throat. The portrayal is so naturalistic that one could almost listen to the tinkling of the bells as Nandi gets up to greet His Lord.
