This extraordinary, century-old sculpture depicts Baby Krishna in a charming crawling position, seated on a hand-painted wooden cart. Crafted from solid teak wood and painted in vibrant, traditional hues, it beautifully captures the divine playfulness of Krishna as a child.
Originating from the Chettinad region of Tamil Nadu, this piece carries deep cultural significance — presented as a bridal gift, it once symbolized prosperity and blessings for the new bride. The bride’s name is delicately inscribed on the base, preserving a rare personal fragment of its history.
The craftsmanship and condition of this piece are remarkable, with intricate details, vivid colors, and the original cart still intact despite its age.
A true heritage collectible, this Baby Krishna in crawling pose is perfect for altars, heritage-inspired décor, or as a striking centerpiece that embodies over a century of devotion and artistry.
Please note that vintage pieces come with small imperfections, that’s a part of its beauty and age.
