A beautiful vintage Indian devotional print titled “Makhan Premi”, depicting Bal Krishna enjoying freshly churned butter, one of the most beloved childhood episodes associated with Lord Krishna.
The charming composition shows young Krishna seated beside an overturned butter vessel, his hand raised toward his mouth, while a traditionally dressed female figure—evoking the familiar imagery of Mother Yashoda discovering little Krishna’s playful mischief—looks on from behind a curtain. Ornamental architecture, hanging lamps and vessels of butter in the background give the scene a wonderfully nostalgic and distinctly Indian atmosphere.
The lower margin retains important original printed details including:

Brass is actually an alloy, not a pure metal. It’s a combination of copper and zinc, and the proportions of these metals determine the colour and properties of the brass. Known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, brass has been used for centuries in everything from musical instruments to household items. Using brass utensils can impart a subtle metallic taste to food, enhancing its flavour profile.
