{"product_id":"antique-bronze-deity-figure-on-nandi-bull-trade","title":"Antique Bronze Deity Figure on Nandi Bull (Trade)","description":"\u003cp\u003eHand-cast via ancient lost-wax techniques, this rare miniature masterpiece beautifully captures the rustic energy of regional folk art. The sculpture portrays a divine figure seated confidently atop a stylized sacred mount, which appears to be the revered bull Nandi. The figure rests with one leg hooked comfortably over the animal's back, extending a curved left arm downward to rest alongside the bull's upturned, dynamic tail. Despite measuring just 4.25 inches tall, the solid metal casting displays remarkable sculptural character, showing a small vertical peg built directly beneath the belly of the bull to function as a historical anchoring post or structural support from the sand mold release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deity features a wonderful folk-style expression, detailed with stylized wide almond eyes, large coiled circular earrings, and a sharp, tiered conical crown. The bull is modeled with short curved horns, a distinct hump, and an incised ornamental collar trailing down its front leg. Over decades of handling and ritual exposure, the heavy alloy has developed a stunning sun-warmed olive-gold patina. Darker charcoal oxidation has settled beautifully inside the tight folds of the legs and torso, lending the metal immense graphic depth. It serves as a highly sophisticated found object, perfect for bringing rich storytelling, sculptural movement, and old-world texture to an intimate entry tray, a modern modular bookshelf niche, or a curated vanity display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Era: Antique\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Dimensions: 2.75\" W x 1\" D x 4.25\" H\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e*Material: Authentic Hand-Cast Solid Bronze \/ Heavy Brass Alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Finish: Sun-Warmed Olive-Gold, Burnished Umber, and Earthy Charcoal Recesses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Utility: Elite small-scale decorative accent, explicitly proportioned to introduce old-world history and graphic interest to upscale console trays, modular shelving, or desktop vignettes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Origin: India\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Condition: Excellent antique condition.
