- This beautiful antique wall panel depicts the mischievous bala Krishna, baby Krishna, naked except for ornaments around his waist, anklets and bracelets trying to access the butter jar from the head of a cow herders daughter or gopi
- There are two knobs on the top and one knob on the bottom of the wood panel that were used to fit it into the South Indian temple chariot that it is made for
- Krishna is reknown for his mischievous acts and in this panel, even as a baby he is up to his tricks as he is trying to access both milk and butter with his hand on the breast of a gopi as she lovingly caresses his chin
- The wood of the panel is very distressed showing its age
- This wood panel from a temple chariot is both very old and very rare as we have never seen a piece available in the market and is completely one of a kind
Krishna is the Divine cow herder and the 8th avatar or incarnation of Lord Vishnu, famous for his mischievous acts as a child and his role with Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita.

Panel carvings from a present day Wooden Temple Chariot - Pondicherry, India, 2022
"The sculpture chooses you. You know when you find the right piece to bring into your home and into your heart."
Founder, Lotus Sculpture
The use of a wood polish will keep the wood looking fresh and the colors vibrant.
Wood statues are easy to take care of as they just need some annual upkeep to keep them looking as they did when they were first carved. All the wood used by Lotus Sculpure's artists is dried out for months. Moisture causes cracks in the sculpture as the wood contracts and expands in different temperatures. Our wood has little to no moisture in it assuring that the sculpture is not going to crack in its journey into different climates. Here are some simple tips to keep your statue in good condition:
- Dust the statue as needed to prevent dirt build up
- To make the statue shine use a natural wood cleaner and a cotton cloth to buff the sculpture
We prefer Old English to polish and buff our statues. The use of a wood polish like Old English will keep the wood looking fresh and keep the colors looking vibrant. For natural wood and painted wooden statues we recommend Old English for lighter woods. For darker wood statues we recommend Old English for darker woods. Lotus Sculpture cleans and polishes each wooden statue prior to shipping them to the customer.
We recommend keeping wooden statues in an indoor environment. Wood statues can go outside however, they will wear more quickly and develop an antique appearance. If you would like to put a wood statue from Lotus Sculpture outside and keep the same appearance of the sculpture we would recommend first coating the statue with a couple of layers of sealant or polyurethane. We would then recommend placing the statue in a partially covered area. The more exposure to the elements the more the statue will wear over time. Please feel free to contact us directly if you have any questions regarding your wooden statue from Lotus Sculpture, (760) 994-4455 or [email protected].
