Description

A MECHANICAL ‘NANDI’ OIL LAMP, COPPER ALLOY, INDIA, 19TH CENTURY

Cast in five separate parts, Shiva’s bull stands firmly on a stepped octagonal plinth, finely engraved with geometric and floral motifs. The bridled animal is adorned with a foliate collar and a draped blanket, crowned by a lotus-shaped cup. This cup features tall petals that twist open when the cup is rotated counterclockwise, revealing the concealed oil receptacle. A tall naga hood rises behind, sheltering the flame and extending outward with a horizontal loop. The petals show a fine lacquer gilding on the inside.

Provenance: Acquired from a private estate in the UK, via the local auction trade.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and casting irregularities. Minuscule nicks, light scratches, and some rubbing. The plinth slightly warped. One petal with minor old repairs. Fine patina overall.

Weight: 1,602.1 g
Dimensions: Height 29 cm

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related brass Nandi oil lamp, dated to the 19th century, in the Weltmuseum, Vienna, inventory number 103513.
