Head of Buddha
Tapa Kalān - Figure
This Buddha with a hellenizing profile wears the bun uṣnīṣa, and his hair is curly parallel to the forehead. There is no trace of ūrṇā. The eyes are half-closed, the nose slightly curved; the round, prognathic chin suggests a double chin and the earlobes are elongated.
