Head of Buddha
Tapa Kalān - Figure
The facial lines are of Indian inspiration. The hair and the bun are stylised; the waves are represented in negative by elongated cavities. The eyes are not half-closed but seem to be closed. The nose is long, the mouth smiling, the chin round. The crease on the neck is visible and the ears are deformed.
