About this piece
Mid-step, mid-laugh, and about three inches tall.
South Indian bronze casters of Tamil Nadu made this standing figure of Krishna dancing in the 18th century. Images of the child Krishna dancing, often shown with butter in hand, are commonly associated with devotion in the south. The small figure lifts one leg with arms swung out, the hands closed. A rounded topknot rises from the head. It stands on a round, stepped base. The bronze has a dark, glossy, chocolate patina, with brighter wear at the knees and fingers.
About three inches tall. Hard to be gloomy near it.
