Tapa Kalān - Figure
He could be the god Indra or a Bodhisattva. He wears an elaborate turban, very similar to that of figures HADB 261 and 262. The bands of trimmings are attached to a central plate, which supports a pyramidion or figure, emerging in front of a pleated puff. If it is a figure, the heart of the flower thus formed acts as a nimbus. The face is idealised, fine and soft. A fold marks the neck and the elongated ears are decorated with pendants, probably in the form of flowers.
