Nandi

A humped bull, half-kneeling, caparisoned with two garlands of small bells and ornamental harness. In front of him is a small linga and yoni. The rear leg is tucked under the body so that the hoof is visible from the opposite side. Nandi is the bull vehicle of Shiva. Traces of incised backcloth decoration.
