Description
Very damaged Bodhisattva head. The headdress, consisting of a cloth band, is placed above the skull in the manner of a crown. The hair is treated in beautiful, voluminous wavy strands. The face, in Hellenistic style, is idealised and smiling. The deformed earlobes may have had pendants attached to them.
