Bull Mixed Media Painting

A heavily adorned bull or ox, shown in profile with a humped back, curved horns, and a garlanded neck. Scroll and cloud-like patterns cover its body blanket, while red rhinestones run in vertical lines down the flank and neck, suggesting a jeweled harness or festival decoration. A green stone forms the eye, matched by red accents on the horns and brow.

Such bull imagery is closely tied to Nandi, the sacred bull associated with Lord Shiva, and to the practice of decorating cattle for regional festivals such as Pongal or Diwali. Rendered in the same repoussé-style gold relief and black-and-terracotta framing as the other pieces, it completes a thematic set of auspicious, richly bejeweled animals.
