Head of Kubera

Cleveland Museum of Art

The head of Kubera is a sculpture of a human head with a serene facial expression. The head is made of reddish-brown stone and sits on a dark gray rectangular base. The face has a calm and peaceful appearance with eyes that are closed or half-closed, and the mouth is slightly smiling. The head is adorned with a decorative topknot on the crown, which consists of rows of small curls or snail shell-like patterns. The ears are long and protruding. The background of the image is dark, transitioning from black at the top to gray at the bottom. The overall appearance of the sculpture suggests it is an ancient artifact.
