{"product_id":"nandi-cow-head-wall-art","title":"Nandi Cow Head Wall Art – 6 Deep Colours, Farmhouse Style","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe darkest end of the range: Dark Navy, Black, Teal Green, Dark Grey, Peacock Blue and Crimson Red. Where the bright colourways pull the eye across a room, these hold a single wall. On white plaster the silhouette reads almost graphic — the painted brow work is the only thing that catches light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 17\"H × 13\"W × 4.5\"D, measured across the ears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 850 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: mango wood, hand-carved and hand-painted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting: keyhole hanger on a flat backing plate at the rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEars carved separately and slotted in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it is made\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach head is cut from a single block of mango wood and shaped by hand before any paint touches it. The painting is the slow part — fine brush line work laid over a base coat by artisans who have been painting this one form for years. The eye, the brow motif, the beaded collar: all freehand. What arrives is one craftsman’s afternoon of work, not a moulded copy off a line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe six colours\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDark Navy\u003c\/strong\u003e — near-black blue with deep red horns and an orange and gold face panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack\u003c\/strong\u003e — black body, white line work, red-lined ears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeal Green\u003c\/strong\u003e — green body with black and gold horns and red ears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDark Grey\u003c\/strong\u003e — charcoal with fine white dot work; the most neutral of the six\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeacock Blue\u003c\/strong\u003e — bright mid blue with green-tipped black horns and a red collar band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrimson Red\u003c\/strong\u003e — deep red with black horns and a green and gold face panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it goes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single dark head above a console or a bed does more than three bright ones. Also works in the reverse arrangement — one dark head anchoring a group of brighter pieces so the wall has a centre. Hallways, entryways, above a fireplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHanging it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a keyhole slot in a flat plate on the back. Drive a screw or a nail with a head into the wall, leave it standing a few millimetres proud, and drop the keyhole over it. At 850 g a drywall anchor is plenty — but a bare pushpin is not enough to hold it. Screws and wall anchors are not supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust with a dry cloth. Keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight so the colours hold. Do not use water or solvent cleaners on the painted surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo the dark colours show the carving?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, though differently. On a bright head the paint carries the detail; on these the carved planes of the face and the ridge of the horns do it, and the painted line work reads as accent rather than pattern. They photograph best on a light wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the ears fixed or removable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThey are carved as separate pieces and slot into the head — that is how the piece survives shipping intact. Seat each ear firmly into its slot when you unpack it. If one sits loose, a dab of wood glue in the slot holds it permanently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this Nandi or a cow?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe form comes from South Indian folk carving, where the same shape is made both as the sacred cow and as Nandi, Shiva’s bull. It is sold and lived with as either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I order several?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes.
