Solid Brass Nandi Bell

A traditional Indian brass bell often used in Hindu religious practices (puja).  The figure of the sacred bull Nandi is located on the top of the handle.  Nandi, in Hindu mythology, is the sacred bull and the primary mount of the god Shiva. He is also considered a guardian deity of Shiva's abode, Kailash, and is often depicted as a stone statue facing the main shrine in Shiva temples. Nandi represents devotion, loyalty, and is a symbol of the individual soul's connection with the divine.
