Head of a Buddha
The head of a Buddha features short, tightly coiled curls on top, with ears on the sides. The face has a subtle smile and half-closed eyes. The head appears to have a rough texture. A portion of the neck is present but no body. The head sculpture is mounted on a white pole. The background gradient transitions from black at the top to gray at the bottom.
