Krishna Lifting Mount Govardhan

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts Krishna Lifting Mount Govardhan, created by an unknown artist. The figure of Krishna is carved from stone and appears to be a fragment of a larger piece, with parts broken off. Krishna is depicted with a head of curly hair. He has a slender physique and is positioned as if lifting something above his head with one hand. His facial expression is calm. He is not wearing a top and has a cloth wrapped around his waist. The right leg is bent at the knee. The sculpture's color is primarily a light grayish-brown. The background of the image is black, suggesting the sculpture is displayed on a gray stand.
