Head of female or male Donor
Chakhil-i Ghoundi - Figure
This character with short, wavy hair wears a diadem decorated with a central pearl and embellished with a circular decoration that is itself adorned with cabochons or gems, represented by incisions. The idealised face is similar to that of many Buddhas: half-closed eyes, full cheeks and a slight smile. It could be a young donor.
