Bronze statue of dancing Krishna, a very venerated Hindu deity. Krishna is one of the most important and popular deities of Indian mythology, considered the eighth incarnation (avatar) of the god Vishnu.
The treatment of the bronze reveals a meticulous and devotional work, with a patina that evidences the passage of time and ritual use. More than a simple ornamental piece, this sculpture was conceived as an object of domestic worship, intended to promote meditation and spiritual meditation.
