About this piece
Butter Krishna shows Krishna as a child with butter, a favourite scene in Krishna devotion. Here a seated brass Krishna is joined by a cow and a peacock, all on a black wood base in front of a standing wood panel.
The panel has a white feather motif and hanging chains with small bells. The seller lists the piece as brass and wood, 30.5 cm tall and 1.68 kg.
How it is used
Many homes keep Krishna as a child, called Bal Gopal or Butter Krishna, in the home shrine or on a shelf. The frame stands on its own, so it can sit on a table or altar.
Looking after it
- Dust with a soft dry cloth.
- Keep the wood away from water.
