About the Item

Discover the enchanting allure of this Antique pottery Krishna statue, a 19th-century Indian treasure that embodies the divine playfulness and spiritual resonance of Hindu devotional art. Standing 32.7 cm high with a 12.2 cm width and 8.5 cm depth, this hand-sculpted pottery masterpiece captures Krishna, the beloved deity of compassion and joy, in a form that radiates timeless cultural heritage. Originating from India, where terracotta traditions have flourished for millennia, this statue reflects the artistry of 19th-century artisans who skillfully molded clay into sacred forms, likely for household shrines or village rituals. The statue’s intricate details—such as Krishna’s iconic flute (bansuri), peacock feather crown, or mischievous smile—are rendered with earthy simplicity, showcasing the harmonious blend of folk craftsmanship and spiritual symbolism. Weighing 1.21 kgs, its lightweight yet durable pottery construction bears a weathered patina, with subtle cracks and faded pigments that whisper of its journey through generations of reverence. Created during an era of vibrant regional artistry, this piece bridges India’s rural artistic traditions and the enduring narratives of Krishna’s divine leelas (playful deeds). Ideal for collectors of Hindu religious artifacts, admirers of global folk art, or as a soulful accent in heritage-inspired interiors, this antique Krishna statue offers a tangible link to India’s devotional past. With museum-worthy authenticity and cultural depth, it stands as a humble yet profound testament to the enduring dialogue between faith, clay, and the artistry of 19th-century India.
