Head of Bodhisattva
Tapa-i Kafarihā - Figure
This Bodhisattva, in the position of a donor, wears a turban wrapped around his head, surmounted by a palmette, the end of which is folded to the side. The head and body are bowed in homage to the figure whose large nimbus can be seen, probably the Buddha. In his clasped hands, he brings a casket as an offering. Dressed in a thin garment that envelops the whole body and a shawl is placed on his left shoulder, he wears a thick bracelet.
