This bronze ornamental die from Karnataka depicts Valu Gopal, a playful and youthful form of Lord Krishna, often shown with a flute and surrounded by devotees or cows. The rounded form and relief detailing suggest it was used as a stamping die, likely for textile or jewelry decoration. The artwork shows fine craftsmanship in bas-relief, with worn yet visible divine figures, characteristic of devotional metalwork in Karnataka. This object blends utilitarian purpose with sacred imagery, reflecting the spiritual and artistic heritage of the region.
