Question for Sy (but answer welcomed from anyone)

[Guest guest]

Ho Sy (or anyone else who knows),

 

I have a murthi...a meditating figure...looks to be Buddhist

robed...lotus position, hands in place...but with what seems to be

the head of a bull. It's Thai perhaps...or perhaps

Cambodian...actually, I have two of them, gifts from a very fine

magician who left the body several years ago...

 

Might this be Shiva's bull? I asked a Laotian buddy but she wasn't

sure (she however is a VERY proper Hinayana Buddhist)...
