{"product_id":"old-indian-nandi-bull-toy","title":"Carved Teak Nandi Bull From Rajasthan - 19th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis charming 19th-century carved teak Nandi bull originates from Andhra Pradesh and was once part of a traditional wooden toy. Representing Nandi, the sacred bull and devoted mount of Lord Shiva, the piece reflects the deep connection between everyday village life, craftsmanship and religious symbolism in India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-carved from a single piece of teak, the bull is decorated with simple geometric motifs and retains a wonderfully tactile, folk-art quality. Originally fitted with wheels, traces of its former construction remain visible, offering a fascinating glimpse into its past as a children's toy or ceremonial object. Decades of handling have created a rich, warm patina that enhances the character of the aged timber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNandi holds a revered place in Hindu tradition as a symbol of strength, devotion and protection. Today, this sculptural piece makes a distinctive decorative object and an appealing addition to collections of Indian folk art, tribal artefacts and antique toys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Andhra Pradesh, 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 Depicts Nandi, the sacred bull of Lord Shiva, original folk-art carving, remnants of former wheeled construction, rich aged patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good antique condition with wear, age-related losses and surface marks consistent with its original use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W23 x D5 x H18 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BinderKing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53550902804789,"sku":"A03546","price":104.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/5243\/2181\/files\/Antique_Indian_Nandi_Bull_Toy_From_Andhra_Pradesh_A03546.jpg?v=1789232436","url":"https:\/\/binderking.shop\/products\/old-indian-nandi-bull-toy","provider":"BinderKing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
