About this piece
A divine child on his knees, and not at all repentant about the butter.
Craftsmen in Maharashtra, India, cast this figure of baby Krishna in brass in the 18th century. Krishna crawling with a ball of butter is a beloved devotional image, often kept on a household shrine. The child is shown on hands and knees with a topknot and a tall crown, and a small ball in one raised hand. Worn gold-brass, with dark areas in the creases and traces of red in the face.
About 2 inches high. Hold the hand, not the butter.
