Grimacing head
Bāgh Gaï - Figure
The head of this grimacing figure is very damaged. The hair is treated in large wavy strands; the rest of the hair is plated except for a small ribbon (or a small lock). The face and nose are deformed. A grimace of pain or fear distorts this grotesque face which seems to be screaming or crying.
