Truly magnificently detailed wooden sculpture of the Hindu god Krishna, depicted specifically as Venugopala (the flute-playing shepherd). The sculpture shows Krishna in the classical tribhanga pose (a triple-bent posture) while he plays the flute. The accompanying cow symbolizes love, compassion, and his role as "Gopala", the protector of cows. Above him is a Kirtimukha (a mythical 'face of glory') visible in the arch (prabhavali). The sculpture was made in the mid-20th century.

De begeleidende koe symboliseert liefde, mededogen en zijn rol als "Gopala", de beschermer van koeien. Boven hem is een Kirtimukha (een mythisch 'gezicht van glorie') te zien in de boog (prabhavali). Het beeld is gemaakt in het midden van de 20e eeuw.
