Description

Painted almost entirely in matte black, this standing Nandi lets its gold and red detailing do all the talking — a richly patterned saddle blanket in deep red and gold sits across his back, his horns curve upward in polished dark grey, and fine gold beading traces his collar and legwear. The high-contrast palette reads as strikingly graphic, despite being rooted entirely in traditional iconography.

Nandi, Shiva's sacred bull, represents devoted, unwavering attention, always positioned facing the divine. This standing form is hand-carved from solid sheesham wood and finished in a deep matte black base coat, over which our artisans hand-paint the red-and-gold saddle blanket and beaded detailing entirely by brush — a demanding process, since the dark base leaves no room to correct mistakes the way a lighter background might.

The high-contrast palette makes this piece particularly effective in monochrome or minimalist interiors. It also works well as a bold statement gift for someone furnishing a modern home who still wants a genuinely traditional, hand-carved piece at its centre.

Material: Solid Sheesham Wood, hand-carved and hand-painted.

Dimension: 18.5 inches (L) x 6.5 inches (B) x 14.5 inches (H). Weight: 3 kgs.
