Antique Baby Crawling Krishna,Karnataka with a Deep Patina old navajo rugs a noted French ArtistThis bronze is infant Krishna, holding a ball of butter, crawling to escape his foster mother Yasodha. This theme is very popular throughout India and most of the bronzes of this type are small as they are meant for home shrines. It is almost a must for Vaishnavites (Hindus who worship primarily Vishnu) to have one of this image on their altar. As usual, the ornamentation is complete, head, neck, ears, shoulders, back, arms, wrist, waist and ankles.
