Krishna bracelet

Posted by Linda Pastorino on September 14, 2012 at 5:13pm

Very unusual bracelet with a figure of Krishna of lost wax cast method. This is probaby from Middle India from either Bihar or Madha Pradesh and used by one of the tribal groups from that area. Kond, or Baastar groups etc. It could be also from Santal groups living in Orissa. 18th/ 19th c a rare type, this piece has come out from the estate of a good friend/dealer that passed away recently.
