Product code: Nandi 1992 Sculpture V&A outlets Museum Reproduction by Austin Sculpture 11
Nandi 1992 Sculpture V&A Museum Reproduction by Austin Sculpture 11", Hinduism This is a reproduction of the Nandi sculpture on display at the V&A, Victoria & Albert Museum in London. It is inscribed with Austin Sculpture and V&A. There is also a date which I THINK is 1992, the last number is a little unclear, see photos. Regardless, this is a beautiful and rare replica of the statue of Nandi, which was serpentine, Southern Deccan, India, Late 16th-early 17th century. The statue appears to be a ceramic, with green & outlets gold paint and measures 11" x 9.5" x 6". Nandi (Sanskrit: ), is the bull vahana of the Hindu god Shiva, meaning happiness, joy, and satisfaction. He is also the guardian deity of Kailash, the abode of Shiva. Almost all Shiva temples display stone images of a seated humped, white Nandi, reclining on a raised platform generally facing the main shrine continuously staring at the god. Nandi is one of Shiva's chief attendants, occasionally depicted in sculpture as a bull.
