    Wood Carved Nandi

    Approximately 7" x 3 1/2" x 6 1/2"

    Picked this up with the other stuff. It is a wood carved bull calf. Has a little damage..the base has a crack and is loose..one ear is not all there. But overall it displays fine and I like the worn look of it.

    NANDI
    "Nandi (also Nandin) is the sacred bull calf, gatekeeper, and vehicle (vahana) of the Hindu god Shiva. Sculptures of Nandi are a common sight at Hindu temples dedicated to his master, and he is partly responsible for the Hindu reverence for living bulls."

    COUNTRY BULL, TAKE ME HOME
    "The Cham Hindus of Vietnam believes that when they die, the Nandi will come and take their soul to the holy land of India from Vietnam."

    HAPPY HAPPY, JOY JOY
    "The Sanskrit word nandi has the meaning of happy, joy, and satisfaction, the properties of divine guardian of Shiva- Nandi."
