Head of god Indra or a Bodhisattva
Tapa-i Kafarihā - Figure
The figure could be Indra, a Bodhisattva or a secondary deity. He is wearing a pre-formed turban decorated with encrustations. Two bands of passementeries are attached to a central circular medallion, surmounted by a pyramidion (or perhaps a figurine), topped by a pleated bouffette. The ears, with their elongated lobes, wear earrings.
