Chandidasa (circa 14th century)
Krishna bedecked in a long garland of flowers of seductive fragrance holds in his two graceful hands the flute, the notes of which bewitch all with a passionate love for Krishna. Radha, leaning against his right shoulder holds a pitcher of water in her right hand while the left strikes a rhythmic posture with the fingers extended. Her diaphanous dupatta rather than concealing, all the more enhances her feminine allure by accentuating her awesome breasts, split in the middle with a sharply defined cleavage. Her lower dress is a lehanga and her ample sturdy thighs show through it.
Krishna's lower garment is a yellow colored dhoti, the folds of which have been finely detailed by the artist. Near him is a peacock. The peacock often makes its appearance in Indian art during sensuous and delicate moments. More specifically it is a symbol of impatient passion.
The border of this marble saucer is decorated with embossed patterns of leaves and flowering vines.
