Antique solid bronze Shiva sacred cow statue in Hinduism



Here is an antique solid bronze Shiva sacred cow statue in Hinduism named Nandi.  This item got from the border market between Thai-Cambodia in Pra-chin- buri province.  Temples dedicated to the deity Shiva, the Hindu lord of creation and destruction are to be found throughout the Indian subcontinent. An essential element in any Shiva temple is the image of Nandi, the sacred bull-calf, whose name means 'joyfulness' or 'blissfulness'. In the ordering of temple space, Nandi occupies an axial position, focusing the attention of the faithful from the outer halls of the temple directly into its spiritual heart, the 'garbhagrha', or 'womb-chamber'. Images of this scale and larger were usually housed in a pillared hall or 'mandapa', which stood independent of the principal shrine and was orientated toward the east, facing directly into the temple, so that Nandi's intimate relationship with Shiva was made explicit
Condition :  used. excellent.  
Material : solid Bronze.
Date : 17th century.  
Size : 8.5" (tall) x 5.5" (long)  x 2 " (wide)
Weight : 3,000 grams.

This item for a tiny antique stone lingam from Cambodia. , made from stone, square base. 
Material : stone   
Condition : very good. but covered with oxide and soil. Date : 12th century  
Size : 4 cm. (height) , square base = 1cm.x1cm.x1cm.x1cm.

The word "Lingam" means "mark" or "sign". The Shiva Lingam is a symbol for the worship of the Hindu god Shiva. Generally it signifies the magnificent light that is the indication or identity of Lord Shiva. This light or flame is solidified and makes the Shivlinga. The lower base of the structure is said to represent the lamp and the upper section, the flame. In most Shiva temples, the bull Nandi is depicted facing the sanctum, symbolizing the human soul Jeevatma yearning for realizing its oneness with Paramatma, the ultimate reality. As a total structure, the lingam is believed to contain the Holy trinity (trimurti - Brahma-Vishnu-Maheshwara) of Hinduism. The Hindu religion asserts that the god Brahma occupies the base layer of the lingam that touches the ground; the central position belongs to Lord Vishnu while the uppermost position is reserved for Lord Shiva.
