The Idol Of Krishna
IDOL IS MADE ON THE DRY TEAK WOOD (SAAGWAN).Sagwan wood (Indian teak) acts as the foundational core for silver furniture because it provides the necessary
heavy-duty structural strength, termite resistance, and longevity required to securely support heavy silver.
The image features an exquisitely crafted silver religious sculpture of Lord Krishna standing alongside a sacred cow. The figure is
captured in his iconic, graceful musical pose, mounted on an ornately engraved circular pedestal
Description
1. The Lord Krishna Figurine
Pose: Krishna is shown in his classic Tribhanga posture—a traditional three-bend standing pose where the body curves gracefully at the neck, waist, and knees.
His right leg is crossed in front of his left, with his toes lightly touching the ground.
Action: He holds an elongated, decorative flute to his lips with both hands, positioned as if playing a melody. The end of the flute features a stylized
hanging tassel or ornament.
Attire & Ornaments: He is adorned in a finely detailed dhoti characterized by crisp, repetitive pleats and a structured waistband. He wears a traditional pointed
crown (mukut) featuring a peacock feather motif at the crest, layered necklaces, armlets, and long sashes draping elegantly from his shoulders.
2. The Sacred Cow
Positioning: A beautifully sculpted cow stands faithfully directly behind Krishna, peering out toward the left side of the composition.
Details: The cow’s form features a polished, smooth metallic finish on its flank, contrasting nicely with the textured details of its face, ears, and dewlap.
3. The Ornate Pedestal
Shape: The entire sculpture is mounted on a raised, low-profile circular platform supported by small, stylized brackets or legs.
Surface Engravings: The top of the platform is densely etched with a radial sunburst or floral motif. The outer vertical rim of the base is heavily embossed with a
continuous ribbon of traditional Indian floral scrollwork, featuring prominent five-petal blossoms and flowing leaves
