A SOUTH INDIAN BRONZE FIGURE OF KRISHNA THE BUTTER THIEF, 18TH CENTURY
Depicted as a lively, childlike figure, Krishna stands in a dynamic posture with one leg raised atop a lotus pedestal, holding a ball of butter in each hand. His rounded features, joyful expression, and ornate jewellery evoke the innocent mischief of his childhood tales. The finely cast curls, detailed garment folds, and lotus base.
