Description

This sculpted head of a Buddha, carved from a dark, mottled igneous stone, specifically granite or a related diorite, featuring a speckled composition of grey, black, and reddish-brown minerals. The figure is rendered with traditional iconographic features, including downcast almond-shaped eyes, elongated earlobes, and a serene, meditative expression. The hair is depicted as numerous small, rounded, snail-like curls forming an ushnisha at the crown. The sculpture has a flat base.
