Head of Bodhisattva
Tapa-i Kafarihā - Figure
The face of the Bodhisattva is idealised, almost feminine, soft and smiling. The hair is treated in large wavy strands, except for the bun, whose waves are represented in a hollowed-out form. The earlobes are deformed and there seems to be a fold in the neck.
