Krishna
India
16-17th century
height: 11 cm
This image of Krishna is perhaps the finest cast bronze currently in stock. The image stands with his left foot on a multi-tiered lotus pedestal, his right foot is
poised to dance and balanced on a lotus flower, his left arm is raised in gaja mudra, and his right hand holds a butterball (after having raided his mother's
larder). All the while, Krishna maintains a serene smiling expression.
The image's body is plump and naked except for copious and elaborate finely cast jewellery which includes bracelets, armlets, anklets, a waist band, and
earrings. Krishna wears a tiered hair ornament. He also wears a girdle of finely cast bells.
This superbly cast piece has soft contours from time and puja use, and a chocolate-brown patina commensurate with its age. Overall, a very tactile, expertly
cast bronze of museum quality.
