Head of Buddha
Tapa Kalān - Figure
The uṣnīṣa bun as well as the hair are figured by wavy strands. The ūrṇā on the forehead cannot be distinguished. The almond-shaped eyes are half closed. The nose is small, straight and pointed, the thin, hemmed mouth sketches a slight smile. There seems to be a circle engraved under the nose. The face is very round, and hints at a slight double chin. The earlobes are widely distorted.
