Head of Buddha

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Head of Buddha, crafted by an unknown artist, presents a serene and intricately detailed sculpture. The sculpture depicts a head with eyes closed and mouth slightly open. The head is adorned with tightly curled hair that spirals outward from the top, resembling snail shells. The ears are long and protruding. The sculpture exudes calmness and meditation, typical of traditional representations. The surface appears rough and weathered, suggesting age. It is displayed on a white pedestal against a gray background.
