unknown - The Gopis Plead with Krishna to Return Their Clothing, Page from a Bhagavata Purana - ca. 1610 v2 - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This design shows the Gopis, the cowherd girls of Braj, confronting Krishna to demand the return of their clothing, a scene drawn from the Bhagavata Purana.

Visual Elements & Composition

The image is built on a rectangular mounted sheet with a pale border, set against tan paper. Violet ink annotations run across the surface, and a faded blue stamp sits within the frame beside the numeral 2021. The palette is quiet: warm tan, soft mount white, and muted violet and blue. The handwritten marks give the page its texture and rhythm.

Meaning & Symbolism

In the Krishna Lila, the taking of the bathers' garments is a deliberate act. Krishna strips away their earthly attachments and modesty, compelling the Gopis to approach him unadorned. In Hindu theology this marks the shedding of worldly ego and the total surrender of the soul in Bhakti, devotional love, where social distinctions and material possessions lose their weight before the divine.

The source painting comes from the Bikaner region of Rajasthan around 1610, an example of early seventeenth-century Indian manuscript illustration that prized narrative clarity and the continuity of epic storytelling. Its maker is anonymous, but its style belongs to its period, and it shows how central the Bhagavata Purana remained as a source for religious and artistic work.

On the Kiss-Cut Sticker

A kiss-cut sticker is cut to the outline of its own artwork, so the edges of the scene become the edges of the object. The moment of exposure and return reads cleanly at this scale, rewarding a close look from a collector's hand. Placed on a laptop, a journal, or a window, it turns a century-old manuscript scene into something that travels with you.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
