The princely figure par excellence, the Bodhisattva of the records shares the Buddha’s idealised face but keeps worldly adornment: an elaborate topknot held by a diadem set with pearls or cabochons, crowns with central ornaments, jewellery. It is the most represented figure in the database.

Three works to learn to look

面部特征带有一种忧虑的表情，面部的不规则更加突出了这种表情。卷曲的头发呈波浪状处理，已经损坏。精心制作的发髻由大卷发组成，由半圆形的王冠固定。王冠已损坏，只能看到侧面的两颗小珍珠。鼻子细长，略呈鹰钩状。嘴唇纤细，没有微笑。耳朵已断裂，但可以看到变形的耳垂。在眉毛正上方，额头上装饰着白毫（ūrṇā）。

这位菩萨的头发以与前额平行的波浪状发丝表现。一个装饰有中央装饰的半圆形王冠固定着部分头发。王冠的弧线由凹槽勾勒。面容像佛陀一样理想化。

菩萨头像，面容精致，几近女性化。额前的头发以粗大的波浪状发丝处理。发髻被风格化：凹槽标示着波浪。他戴着一种王冠，一种以中央尖顶结束的宽王冠。头饰由凹槽勾勒，装饰有宝石和中央珍珠。面容属于印度类型，柔和、理想化且面带微笑。
