O
Krishna,
how we adore You;
Our hearts soar to You above.
Fill us with Your loving mercy;
Grant us Your eternal love.
Special Features: Krishna is the eighth incarnation or avatar of Lord Vishnu. Krishna is famous for playing the flute. His flute playing would beguile the cow herder's daughters whom were all in love with Krishna. Krishna, besides being a hero and central figure of Bhagavad-Gita, was seen as an affirmation of life. He loved life and lived his time on this earth to the fullest. The flute he plays is decorated with a yali head on the end of it. A yali is a mythical beast that is a cross between a lion, an elephant and an alligator. In this sculpture Krishna is surrounded by 9 peacocks. Krishna is standing on a double lotus flower base. Below that are two bulls that are facing each other.
Krishna was carved in the Hoysala style
originated in Halebid, India. The style is very ornate as you can plainly see
from the abundance of jewelry and other ornaments that cover the entire piece as
well as the spiraling vines that swirl in and out of each other in the arch of
the piece.
Care: Dust the piece as needed. You
can use a wood cleaner to really make it shine. Mainly for indoor use.
