In Hinduism, Nandi is the name of the bull who serves as the mount (Vahana) and gatekeeper of Lord Shiva and Parvati. All over India, temples dedicated to Shiva generally have a seated Nandi displayed at the entrance. Made of copper using the repoussé technique, which involves hammering the material against a mold to give it a raised appearance and then carving details on the surface by hand, this old Nandi is a treasured piece from North Karnataka or Maharashtra.
