Nandi

The bull-calf Nandi represented as reclining on a rectangular base. His horns are blunted, there is a small hump behind his shoulder, and he is richly trapped with two collars of small bells, an ornamental girth strap and frontlet. Between his forefeet is the lingam, representing the god Shiva, with a cobra canopy.
