Four-Armed Fluting Krishna Under Peacock Aureole Wood Statue

Krishna stands in a fluid tribhanga, the flute held across his lips, while four arms extend his presence beyond the pastoral into a more expansive, sovereign form. The additional hands introduce attributes associated with preservation and control, allowing the figure to bridge the gentle musician and the all-encompassing protector.

Behind him, a dense aureole of peacock plumes unfolds in layered movement, each bird and feather carved with precision, creating a field of vitality that surrounds and amplifies the central form. The richness of colour, deep blues, reds, and greens, settles into the carving, enhancing depth while maintaining clarity of contour.

At his feet, crouching lions introduce a counterpoint of strength, grounding the composition with controlled energy. The floral pedestal beneath stabilises the figure, its layered petals echoing the rhythm of the aureole above.

The carving is intricate and deliberate, where ornament, anatomy, and surrounding motifs merge into a continuous surface. Placed within a space, the sculpture holds both intimacy and authority, presenting Krishna as a complete presence where beauty, music, and protection coexist in balance.
