Krishna 17 cm brass

Krishna is worshiped across many traditions of Hinduism. Krishna is often described as having the appearance of a dark-skinned man during his earthly incarnation, often depicted as a young cowherd boy playing a flute or a youthful prince giving philosophical direction and guidance. Krishna and the stories associated with him appear across a broad spectrum of Hindu philosphical and theological traditions. Though they sometimes differ in details reflecting the concerns of a particular tradition, some core features are shared by all. These include a divine incarnation, a pastoral childhood and youth, and life as a heroic warrior and teacher.
