This beautiful painted Indian shutter depicts Krishna & Radha. The shutter dates to the 19th century and is in excellent condition. The eternal and sublime love of Krishna & Radha is a deeply popular story often found in Bikaner paintings. Often called 'Radha Krishna', it is a romantic tale depicting the beauty of romantic and physical love. Radha was already married and they engaged in a passionate intermarital affair transcending traditional mortal relationships and morality. The subject has become more secular than religious and symbolises the union between the human soul and the divine.

This style of painting on decorative shutters can only be found in Bikaner and the surrounding area. It is a city that is famous for its fine painting of boxes and the interiors of buildings. This shutter would have been plastered into the wall with a cavity for storing keepsakes.

Supplied with sturdy wall hangers.
