Description
18th century Bronze - Balakrishna dancing - South India
Early beautiful well-cast - Krishna dancing atop a circular tiered, plinth, the sides of which are decorated with lotus petals; holding a butter ball in his right hand, wearing jewelry, but no clothing, other than for chest and waist bands.
The realism and Krishna’s plump and well-rounded features suggest an early dating, rather than a later period when modelling became more stiff and stylised.
Condition: only minor age dings & dents to the base otherwise this is an excellent bronze statue with beautiful patina.
Size: 11cm high and 4.7cm x 4.8cm base wide
