Vintage “Makhan Churi” Bal Krishna Print – Framed Indian Devotional Art

A charming vintage devotional print titled “Makhan Churi”, depicting one of the most beloved childhood episodes of Bal Krishna stealing butter.

The lively composition shows young Krishna reaching for a suspended butter pot while his companions assist him by forming a human pyramid. Another child is seen enjoying the stolen butter, while a traditionally dressed female figure watches the playful scene from the doorway. The broken pot, scattered butter and hanging vessels beautifully capture the mischievous and joyful spirit associated with Krishna’s childhood stories.

The artwork retains its original printed title in multiple scripts, including “Makhan Churi” in English and corresponding Indian-language titles beneath the image, giving the piece additional period and cultural character.

The rich reds, yellows, blues and earthy interior tones, together with the expressive figures and traditional architectural setting, make this a highly decorative example of old Indian devotional popular art.

Presented in an old black wooden frame with gold-tone inner lining, the print displays the natural ageing expected from an authentic vintage collectible.
