{"product_id":"dhokra-nandi-the-standing-sacred-bull","title":"Dhokra Nandi — The Standing Sacred Bull","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis is an 11-inch, 3.5kg hand-cast brass sculpture of Nandi — the sacred bull of Shiva — made entirely by hand by our master tribal artisan in India, using a technique that is over 4,000 years old called Dhokra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eDhokra is a lost-wax casting method. The form is built first in wax, wrapped in clay, fired, and filled with molten brass. The mould is broken to release the sculpture — meaning it can never be used again. Every piece is one of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAt 3.5kg, this is not a decorative object. It is a presence. Nandi stands fully adorned — layered bead necklaces, a ceremonial bell at the chest, an intricately worked crown, wide curved horns, and a saddle-cloth rendered in fine cross-hatch and dot-work that takes days to complete by hand. The antique brass deepens with age. The oxidation in the recessed areas is not wear — it is time, made visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne piece available. When it is gone, the next will be made to order with a 10–12 week lead time.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"āsmi london","offers":[{"title":"11 inches × 11 inches \/ 3.5kg","offer_id":57509789073739,"sku":null,"price":295.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/2620\/8331\/files\/edited-image-2_17.jpg?v=1780584853","url":"https:\/\/asmilondon.com\/products\/dhokra-nandi-the-standing-sacred-bull","provider":"āsmi london","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
