Indian Miniature Figure of Baby Krishna W/Crown

On hands and knees, with a plume on his head.

Indian metalworkers cast this miniature Baby Krishna in bronze in the 19th century. Bronze images of the crawling child are commonly made for household worship, often holding a ball of butter. Here the boy is shown in motion, one hand raised and curled, the other pressed to the ground. A tall, feathered crown sweeps upward from the head. The face has large eyes, and the necklaces are cast in fine detail. The surface is warm yellow brass.

About two inches tall. A proper handful, in the best sense.
