The Dance of Victory: Large Size Chola Style Bronze Krishna vanquishes Kaaliya
Lord Krishna Dancing Tandava on Head of a Snake
A Chola style bronze molded through the cire-perdue or lost wax process, depicting one of the most revered of all Hindu deities, Krishna as a divine hero triumphing over the devious serpent Kaliya Naag. In lush detailing with rich ornamentation that integrated the fleshly figures, the countenance of Krishna is lucid with fortitude. He is seen here with right leg raised in perfect balance, his delicate left hand is gently holding the serpent tail, and offering a Adhaya mudra (protection) in his right hand. The solid bronze captured the sinuous strength and dynamism of Krishna in forms and spirit, beautifully illustrated the benevolent divine grace in a timeless symbol.
The unique base has 4 hoops and 2 prongs sticking up that are used by priests to carry Krishna around during festival times
Krishna is a one of a kind, lost wax method, bronze statue. Only one of these statues is ever made
