Small Vintage Brass Nandi Statue from India

A lovely brass Nandi worn smooth from years in the river.

There is a custom in India to place brass statues of Ganesh and Nandi in the river as a blessing. This lovely small statue of the bull Nandi has been worn smooth by the flow of the river, it is cool and smooth to the touch. 

Nandi is the vehicle of the Hindu god Shiva. A unique and beautiful item.

The last two photos shows a small stone Nandi at the Dedadara Stepwell in Gujarat and a very large Nandi at the Ellora caves, Maharasthra - for interest only, not for sale!
