Hindu Foil Art

This small but sought-after group gathers our discontinued Hindu devotional foil pictures: Krishna preaching the Bhagavad Gita, baby Krishna, Radha and Krishna together, Goddess Lakshmi in her forms, Goddess Durga, and Shirdi Sai Baba. These metallic foil prints were produced in limited runs and are no longer manufactured, so each listing represents the final surviving stock of that design.

Devotional prints of Krishna and Lakshmi have always travelled with families — placed above the household altar, carried to a first apartment, given at Diwali or at a wedding. The foil printing tradition adds a temple-like glow: embossed highlights on jewellery, crowns and halos catch the light of a diya or a lamp in a way flat posters never do.

Each foil picture below links to a detail page with the exact size, item number and our purchase email. Our Taobao storeroom also holds thousands of further out-of-print designs; if you are looking for a specific deity or composition that is not listed, write to us and we will search it for you.
