A well made antique Indian brass statue of the Hindu Deity Lord Krishna.
This statue would have been made using the loss wax technique where the statue is first crafted from wax, a mould is created using the wax statue and then molten bronze is poured into the mould, displacing the wax.

Krishna is the god of love, tenderness and compassion. Hindu mythology portrays him as a prankster, a gentle lover, a universal supreme being and child-like God. The narrative and stories of Lord Krishna's life are referred to as Krishna Leela.
