The head of Buddha by an unknown artist depicts a sculpture of a human head. The head is angled slightly to the left. The face is elongated with a flat top. The eyes are closed. The nose is straight and proportional to the rest of the facial features. The lips are thin. The hair is depicted as small bumps on top of the head. The ears are visible on the sides of the head. The sculpture appears to be made of stone or clay and has a light brown color. The background is dark at the top and lightens towards the bottom.
