Originating from India, this Nandi bronze figure bears an olive patina and measures 3.5 × 2 × 2 cm; from the Era post Gupta period, it came from a private collection and is in good condition, with a filigree technique where bronze pieces are sculpted and glued onto the main body.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Olive-colored bronze with a very good patina in which Nandi the bull associated with Shiva is depicted. It was meant to form part of a larger bronze where other deities related to the great god would appear. Filigree technique where pieces of bronze are carved and glued onto the “body” of the main piece.
