Location
Tapa Kalān68
Description
This brahman is wearing a bun held in place by a knot. His broad forehead is in contrast to the compact appearance of his face: frowning eyebrows, sunken eyes, a blunt nose and a small mouth. He wears a beard, the meanders of which have nothing natural about them.
Observations
The type of this figure is reminiscent of the silenes of Western art.
