Indian Pilgrimage Figure of Kneeling Krishna

Mostly head and determination, a dark little crawler scrambles onward.

This pilgrimage figure of a kneeling Krishna is from Maharashtra, India. It is brass. Krishna is widely revered in Hinduism, and images of him kneeling or crawling as the butter-loving child are a familiar devotional subject. Worn so smooth that features have softened into rounded lumps, this compact figure has a domed head over folded limbs and a tucked-in body. The surface is brown and mottled with a dull sheen. It is 0.75 inches wide, 1.25 deep and 1 high.

Time sanded off the details but left the personality.
