Product description
Estimated market value: €350 – €550 Standing deity sculpture, crafted from bronze, depicting Krishna in a tribhanga posture, playing the flute. The sculpture stands on a lotus pedestal and shows Krishna with crossed legs, holding the flute to his lips with both hands. This iconography is characteristic of Krishna as the cowherd god and a musical manifestation of divine love and devotion. The face is finely modeled with a gentle smile and almond-shaped eyes. The head features a high crown with a decorative element, combined with a halo at the back. The body is richly adorned with jewelry and a pleated dhoti. Traces of old gilding are visible over large parts of the surface, in combination with a dark natural patina, consistent with age and use. The back and underside show a traditional hollow-cast construction with an irregular interior and mineral discolorations, characteristic of older bronze casting techniques. There are no indications of modern serial production. Based on style, execution, and finish, the sculpture can be placed within a South Asian tradition, presumably India, dating from the 19th to early 20th century. Material: Bronze Height: 25.7 cm Width: 8 cm Weight: 1.2 kg Condition: Original state with age-related patina and wear.
