Bronze depicting BalaKrishna
Central India, 19th century
Bronze casting depicting Krishna sitting on a snake coil. This representation is related to an episode from Krishna's childhood when he defeated the serpent Kaliya and then sucked his own toe, showing his divine and playful nature. The back is missing the head of the snake, which probably served as a canopy.
