How is Krishna shown in the Serene Krishna piece?
Krishna stands in profile as a cut-out figure, with teal skin and red leggings, and his jewellery and ornaments are picked out in fine dotted patterns. The gold, magenta and cream touches keep the figure lively, and because it is a cut-out, the outline of the body stands on its own against your wall.
What are the dotted patterns on the figure?
They come from the Kalamkari hand-painted perforation work. Small holes are carved into the leather and combined with painted detail along the jewellery and costume, so the ornaments read as rows of tiny dots. This carving, holing and painting together is what gives the figure its lively, lifelike look.
What craft is this?
It is leather puppetry, an ancient folk art of Andhra Pradesh. The designs are drawn on genuine leather and then dyed in colour, using naturally available materials, natural dyes and iron frames, with traditional tools throughout. Pieces like this one bring the look of those puppets onto your wall.
What sizes can I choose from?
It is available in three heights: 1 foot, 2 feet and 5 feet, which is life-size. The 1-foot size suits a shelf or small wall, the 2-foot size works on a regular living room or bedroom wall, and the 5-foot size becomes the centrepiece of a large wall or foyer.
Who made it?
It is handcrafted by State Award-winning artist Raghavendra of Nimmalakunta, Andhra Pradesh. Each piece is made by hand with traditional tools, so slight irregularities in colour can appear, and they are part of the handcrafted nature of the work rather than a flaw.
How does it look in a room?
The teal and red figure stands out well against white, cream or light grey walls, and suits a living room, an entrance, a puja area or a stairwell. Because it is a cut-out, the shape of the figure is clear from across the room, and the dotted details reward a closer look.
