Under the semblance of a kadamba tree, stand the timeless lovers of Vrindavan, Radha and Krishna. As always, the Lord toys with His favourite milkmaid. He raises His divine flute high up above His head, teasing Her as She struggles in vain to reach it.
The Radha-Krishna sculpture that you see on this page is a good example of Indian tribal-style sculpture. A rough-edged silhouette. In terms of iconographical detail, rudimentary. Such a murti is more about the unique artistic expression of an individual/tribe than about iconographical perfection.
Through the deeply textured brass, one perceives the motion of Krishna’s angavastram in the wind. The milk Radha would spill from Her pot any moment now. The admiring gaze of the Lord as it traverses the decolletage of His best beloved.
