I previously wrote about the deities in the British museum. Since then I have been to the Victoria and Albert Museum, and they too have a collection of murtis. The fine Nandi to the left dates from the late 16th or early 17th century. He takes centre place in the gallery, but is placed so that he looks sideways, past a fine Shiva Nataraja.
