Head of god Brahma, a young brahman or a Bodhisattva
Tapa Kalān - Figure
The hair is treated in large curly locks, symmetrically distributed on either side of a central parting. The face, mutilated at the level of the nose, bears the mark of the classical influence. Round and youthful, it is idealised. A fold marks the neck. Traces of polychromy can be seen in the pupils.
