Life engenders myths and myths become a part of life. This is the truth behind the handcrafted wooden figure of Lord Krishna and his cow. The artisans of Andhra Pradesh in India have carved this wooden doll with all their devotion toward the mythical god of eternal love – Krishna. Rural India thrives on agriculture and farming. In Krishna, we see the Indian Everyman and also a divine figure, to be loved and awed by all and sundry. He was born out of traditional Indian life and he is still a part of the Indian psyche. Worshipped in temples, he is a favourite of the artists as well. This exquisite Krishna figure has been carved with care, to bring out the divine aura in expression, colour and posture. The figure of this Indian Everyman is a commendable collector’s item.
