I just have not seen this representation.  Nandi is Shiva’s primary vehicle in bull form.  Nandi was also Shiva’s gatekeeper which means this representation should be present in the entrances of many temples.  I have not found that to be the case …. Nandi’s head on a meditating body.  This statue was acquired in Thailand in the mid-1990’s.  If you can provide more information on this unique bronze, please contact me.  I would consider this rare, in very good condition and dated to mid-1900’s.   For the Serious Collector

 

This stunning statue has SOLD.  Thanks, K.G. !!
