Description

This Bodhisattva is wearing a simple turban, a rolled-up band of cloth. He wears his hair short with a bun; the waves are depicted in a hollow pattern. The face is soft, smiling, in the Indian style. The position of the neck suggests a twist, a movement. The earlobes are deformed and a crease marks the neck.
