Head of Genius
Tapa-i Kafarihā - Figure
The hair of this genius of feminine appearance is massaged into a roll that frames the face. The rendering of the hair strands is rather unnatural. The face is of Indian inspiration, fine, delicate and smiling. He wore a bun or a decoration at the top of his hair, part of which is visible despite the breakage.
