Head of god Indra or a donor
Tapa Kalān - Figure
If it is the god Indra, he is represented here in the manner of the donors. The hairstyle is prominent. It is the extreme schematisation of the "spiral" curls; they are only represented by their central hollow, barely detached from each other. He is wearing a beard collar, also depicted in the hollow. The earlobes are elongated. The face is idealised, although the original hairstyle and the beard give it a certain individuality.
