Head of a Bodhisattva

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Head of a Bodhisattva by an unknown artist depicts a carved wooden head. The head is facing forward with eyes closed. The head has a serene expression with slightly curved lips. The head has a crown-like structure on top with intricate carvings that resemble leaves or flowers. The crown-like structure sits on top of the head, which has hair carved into thin strands. The head has a vertical line between the eyebrows. The head appears to be made from a light-brown wood and exhibits signs of aging with visible cracks and a rough texture. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
