Shiva on Nandi Temple Carving on Stand

Era: 18th Century or earlier

This beautiful depiction of deity Shiva, the destroyer and transformer, riding his most devout supporter, Nandi, from a temple in India. Beautifully carved, Shiva is one of the principal deities in the Hindu religion, representing destruction, ultimately to enact beneficial creation and change. A necessary step for renewal. A beautiful example of 18th century or earlier carving on a large slab of sandalwood, displayed on a contemporary metal stand, or can be hung on wall.
