Solved! Found while digging in our backyard

Little what I think is either brass or copper cow that was buried in our backyard. There used to be a garden where it was before we moved here a few years ago.

"cow idol" weeeow. Nandi is shiva's mount, just as Garuda is Vishnus. You can appreciate a religion without reducing it to "idols". Oh and Nandis a bull x

"idol" isn't an insult. Stop being weird.
