Standing Nandi

The Standing Nandi is a sophisticated visual anchor handcrafted using the non-industrial Cire Perdue (lost-wax casting) method. This ancient tribal technique ensures that your sculpture is a true singular relic, born from a clay mould that must be completely broken apart to release the cooled brass alloy beneath.

This piece is distinguished by its incredible textural contrast and deep, dual-toned finish. The Nandi's body features a rich, dark antiqued patina that lends an ancient, weathered weight to its form. This deep backdrop makes the hand-coiled brass ornamentation, including traditional neck bells, detailed anklets, and prominent curved horns, gleam with a warm, golden lustre. Adding a striking contemporary narrative is the ornate ceremonial saddle, meticulously detailed with vibrant emerald green and rust-red pigment inlays across the back.

The Styling Ritual: With its proud 8 x 3 x 9-inch proportions, this sculpture carries exceptional architectural weight. It acts as a stunning statement piece when styled as a singular anchor on an entry console, layered alongside minimalist ceramic vessels, or positioned on an open bookshelf against a warm, earthy backdrop to catch the natural daylight.
