Indian Miniature Figure of Baby Krishna W/Crown

A crawling child with a halo like a sunburst.

This miniature figure of Baby Krishna was cast in bronze in India in the 19th century. Krishna is commonly shown as a crawling child, and such figures are often kept at home shrines. Here the infant crouches on one knee and one hand, wearing a high crown topped by a large, radiating disc. Jewelry hangs across the chest, and the face is rounded with wide eyes. The bronze is golden, with a darker patina in the folds.

About two inches tall. Small enough to lose, and not easy to forget.
