Krishna Killing the Horse Demon Keshi
A sculpture depicts Krishna and Keshi. Krishna, on the left, with long hair, wears a necklace and a cloth wrapped around his waist. He is shirtless and holds a stick-like object. He sits on top of Keshi, who is on their back on the ground. Keshi, on the right, is a horse-demon with a horse's head and human-like body. Keshi's mouth is open, showing teeth. Krishna's right leg is placed on Keshi's stomach and his right arm is around Keshi's neck. The sculpture is made of reddish-brown stone and shows signs of wear. The background is gray.
