About this piece
Kneeling Krishna, ready to crawl off the shelf.
Artisans of Maharashtra, India, cast this pilgrimage figure of kneeling Krishna in brass, dated in the record to the 19th century or earlier. Small brass images of the child Krishna are commonly kept in household shrines and carried by pilgrims. The infant crawls on hands and knees, wearing a tall, tiered crown and a necklace. The brass has darkened to a gold-brown with a worn, softened relief.
About 2 inches tall. A tiny god, and a very good traveler. It rewards a close look and a steady hand.
