heavy-duty structural strength, termite resistance, and longevity required to securely support heavy silver.
The image features a finely crafted,silver sculpture of a sacred cow, traditionally representing Nandi (the vahana or vehicle of Lord Shiva) or a sacred
cow associated with Krishna devotion

1. The Sacred cow (Nandi)
Pose: The bull is depicted in a resting, couchant position on a rectangular pedestal. Three of its legs are tucked beneath its body, while its front right leg is
slightly raised and bent at the knee, giving the pose a dynamic yet serene look. Its head is turned sharply to the left.
Ornaments and Attire: The figure is richly adorned with traditional decorative elements:
Decorative Blanket (Jhool): Its back is covered with an intricately engraved ornamental cloth featuring a prominent central lotus blossom surrounded by symmetrical
floral and leaf motifs.
Necklaces and Collars: The neck is decorated with multiple layered bands, including a patterned collar with geometric engraving and a hanging bell or tassel design.
Head and Horns: The cow features small, pointed horns bound with decorative bands at the base, an ornate headstall across its forehead, and beautifully stylized,
large almond-shaped eyes. A prominent hump sits right at the top of its shoulders
