Figures such as this were traditionally placed in domestic shrines or small temples, where prayers and offerings were made to invoke Shiva’s blessings and protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarved from a single block of dense teak, this early example displays an archaic form with simple, powerful contours and deeply incised details along the body and headdress. The wood’s surface, burnished by age and ritual handling, has developed a lustrous patina that reflects centuries of reverence and care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rare and evocative piece of South Indian folk art, this Nandi carries a quiet spiritual gravity — equally at home as a devotional object or sculptural accent in a modern interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rajasthan, India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19th Century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-carved teak wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early folk carving of \u003cem\u003eNandi\u003c\/em\u003e the bull; archaic form with incised detailing; rich aged patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent antique condition with expected wear and surface weathering consistent with age and ritual use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W17 x D7 x H8 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BinderKing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53551660269877,"sku":"A03394","price":111.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/5243\/2181\/files\/Antique_Indian_Nandi_Bull_A03394.jpg?v=1789234170","url":"https:\/\/binderking.shop\/products\/antique-indian-lying-nandi-bull","provider":"BinderKing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
