Hindi Sandstone Carving of Nandi / Nandikeshwara, 600-800 Years Old
About the Item
Hindu sandstone carving depicting Nandi God in human form.
600-800 years old most likely older.
An exceptional sculpture carved in sandstone from temple in Arakan, Burma.
Original in 12 parts - in the temple, there have most likely been plastering between the parts, but we have chosen not to do same, to preserve the originality best possible. The 12 parts are put together with special screws, so strong that it can be lifted at the top without any problem.
In wonderful original condition with natural age-related patina.
Mounted upon a light sandstone base.
From Danish private collection.
Nandi (also Nandin) is the sacred bull calf, gatekeeper, and vehicle (vahana) of the Hindu god Shiva. Sculptures of Nandi are a common sight in the entrances of many Hindu temples dedicated to his master.
At some temples Shiva can take the form of a bull, known as Nandikeshwara, where he often stands guard holding symbols of Shiva.

- Large Antique Hand Carved Sandstone Sculpture, Bust of Christ with Display StandLocated in Lisse, NLTop quality and mint condition bust sculpture from the early 1900s with maker's name. This incredibly well carved bust of Jesus is impressive both for its quality and its large size. With His head bowed down like in His final hours on the cross this design is obviously perfect for displaying on a tall stand. In this case a tall and ebonized wooden pedestal was used and thanks to the contrasting colors of this bust and its pedestal they are like a match made in heaven. The master sculptor / artist could not have done a better job in hand carving the exhausted yet serene facial expression of Christ. The large size of this bust combined with the rare sandstone material makes this work of religious art look extra ancient. Because of its size this archetype of Christianity can also be seen and worshipped from further away. Unfortunately we cannot read the name of the skilled artisan who signed this unique sculpture. Thanks to its amazing quality, its excellent condition, its deeper meaning and its powerful presence this work of religious art will never fail to impress, no matter where you decide to have it on display. For it to have come our way felt like a blessing and to be able to offer it to the 1stdibs community in this amazing condition is an honour for us. Our fair price for this museum worthy sculpture again includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days.
