Classic Hindu poetry, literature, art and mythology are suffused with the brilliance of Krishna, the eighth incarnation of Vishnu. Unlike previous avatars, Krishnas widespread appeal lies in his ability to bridge the gap between mortal and divine. His innocent childhood pranks make for delightful storytelling, even as they are layered with multiple meaning. Krishna as divine lover inspired the medieval Sanskrit poem Gita Govinda by Jayadeva. Filled with inspiring imagery, this work is about Krishnas relationship with his lover Radha, their passion a metaphor for the individual souls longing for union with the divine. Hand-casted, polished, and detailed with diligence, this Radha-Krishna statue is made in the United States. Though made of durable & strong stone/resin material, the statue has an elegant and a delicate appearance. Measures 5 inches in height and 1 inch deep with a flat back.
