13.8" solid brass Krishna — Cow figure to left of Krishna, ornate aureole/crown, oval scrollwork base. Hand-cast in Moradabad, the brass-craft capital of India, by artisans whose families have been working in metal for generations.

About this deity

Lord Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu, is the cowherd-prince of Vrindavan and the divine charioteer of the Bhagavad Gita. He stands in tribhanga — three bends of the body — playing the bansuri flute, drawing the soul home with sound. Krishna represents divine love, joy, and the lila of life itself.

Specifications

Craft notes

The piece is finished in polished plain brass — bright, golden, and warm — with hand-engraved detailing where present. It will deepen in tone slightly with age. The piece is solid brass throughout — there is no plating, no hollow shell. Slight variations in finish, dimension, and weight are inherent to the handmade process and are part of the character of each piece.

Care & placement

A statement piece for a console, a bookshelf, or a pair on either side of a doorway. Dust with a soft cloth; polish occasionally.
