Vintage Wooden Nandi on stand

A striking vintage wooden Nandi from Kerala, this piece carries over eight decades of quiet grace and craftsmanship. Carved with remarkable detail, it has aged beautifully—its surface bearing the kind of natural weathering that only time can gift. Nandi, the sacred bull and devoted gatekeeper of Lord Shiva, stands as a timeless symbol of strength, patience, and wisdom.

Mounted on a sturdy cast iron base, this piece is as grounded as the values it represents. Whether placed on a console or a corner table, it brings with it a distinct spiritual presence—calm, steady, and quietly powerful. A rare collectible, this Nandi doesn’t just adorn a space—it anchors it.

Significance of Nandi in Hindu Mythology: Nandi is the name of the gate- guardian deity of Kailasa, the abode of Lord Shiva. He is usually depicted as a bull which also serves as the mount to the god Shiva. Besides being Shiva’s vehicle, Nandi is also the chief of the god’s team of attendants, and consequently he often carries a golden staff of office. His other duties include being the guardian of all quadrupeds and the provider of music as Shiva dances the tandava, the cosmic dance of creation.
