AN INDIAN BLACK STONE MODEL OF A NANDI, (the Bull) probably Pala Period 12th century, in recumbent position, with right foot forward and wearing a jewelled necklace, bell collar and saddle blanket, resting on a rectangular plinth, 26 cm wide*Nandi, meaning joyfulness in Sanskrit, is the name of the bull and vehicle of the Hindu god Shiva - the god of strength and destruction.Sculptures of Nandi are typically displayed sitting on a plinth guarding temples dedicated to the Hindu deity, and positioned to face the sanctuary which houses the main representation of Shiva.Each of the major Hindu deities are associated with a bird or animal vehicle (vahana), with qualities specific to a divinity's image and functions. The bull can be seen as a symbol of fertility and strength. The significance of bovines in Indian culture have entitled them to sacred status in Hindu society, and thus became a favourite animal subject for Indian sculptors and miniature painters.
