Description
The hair and bun are treated in wavy strands. The ūrṇā is represented by a stucco button at the junction between the nose and the arches, just at the level of the eyes. The face is of the Indian style: soft, idealised and smiling. As is often the case, the earlobes are enlarged and a fold marks the neck.
