Krishna’s brother Balarama holds a snake, since he is an incarnation of Vishnu’s cosmic serpent.
Description
As a toddler growing up in a rural cowherding community, Krishna loved to eat the dairy products his parents attempted to keep out of his reach. With bold rounded contours and modeling, the blue-skinned Krishna totters precariously on a ladder, while his irate foster mother brandishes a stick at him.
