Head of Bodhisattva
Tapa-i Kafarihā - Figure
Bodhisattva head in stucco, very delicate, with a feminine appearance. The headdress, the top of which is lost, consists of a circular roll of fabric decorated with medallions. The hair is treated in small curled and twisted curls that fall down to frame the face. The earrings consist of round beads. The face is of Indian inspiration: small eyes, small nose and small smiling mouth. Traces of red paint are visible: they encircle the hair, underline the mouth, the eye, the neck and various parts of the hairstyle.
