A smooth-finish wood-carved Tribhanga Muralidara Krishna. Tribhanga stance, the body jutting out (‘bhanga’) laterally at three (‘tri’) different junctures; murali (flute) in His hands (‘dhara’). While the traditional iconography of Krishna is unmistakable, the element of the parrot perched on a single shoulder of the Lord is an interesting detail. The colour finish of this wooden sculpture is pale yet somewhat smokey. The latter effect has a lot to do with the natural texture of the organic medium. Overall, it is a deeply golden ochre. The childlike face of Krishna gazes straight into the onlooker’s, as if ascertaining and fulfilling every desire of the devotee’s heart. It is a complex sculpture in terms of the proportion of detail introduced into the composition. For example, the ample folds of Krishna’s angavastram, the lifelike pleats of His dhoti. The most unusual aspect, however, is the plinth which cradles the lotus-like feet of Krishna.
