AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Masterpiece of Indian devotional metallurgy, imbued with spiritual symbolism — An elegant brass statuette depicting Krishna Venugopala, one of the most famous and captivating iconographies of the Hindu tradition. Krishna is shown standing in the characteristic sinuous pose, with legs crossed and the flute (venu) brought to the lips. Indeed, the flute constitutes one of his most important iconographic attributes and identifies Krishna in his Venugopala manifestation, the divine flute-player. In Hindu tradition Krishna is an incarnation of Vishnu and is associated with divine love, compassion, joy and harmony. The sound of his flute holds profound symbolic value, representing the call of the divine and the spiritual bond between the human being and the transcendent dimension. The figure features rich decoration, with elaborate headdress, jewels, necklaces and garments finely modeled. The dynamic and graceful posture gives movement to the composition, while the bas-relief decorated with petal motifs completes the sculpture harmoniously. The warm golden hue of the brass enhances the numerous ornamental details and makes the statuette especially decorative. An interesting object inspired by Indian religious art, suitable for both collectors and as a refined piece of interior decor.
