A colourfully ornamented Krishna carved from aventurine. Like jade, aventurine is a brilliant green gem that is often considered a variety of jade itself. In the standing Krishna murti that you see on this page, the medium brings out the dark-complexioned beauty of the Lord to perfection. In addition, it accentuates the vivid colours of His attire and adornment.
Each aspect of this Krishna is carved from aventurine. To project a lifelike impression of the hems of His angavastram and the stance of delicately shaped hands and feet, it must have taken a great deal of skill and patience on the sculptor’s part.
The peacock tottering about the feet of Krishna, with its brilliant gold plumage, adds to the fine colour palette. In the eyes of the Lord, and equanimous and deeply compassionate expression.
