Bust of a Bodhisattva
The sculpture depicts a stone head and shoulders of a male figure with a serene expression. The figure has a square-shaped head with eyes that are closed or half-closed and a small mouth with thin lips. The nose is straight and proportional to the rest of the facial features. The figure appears to have long hair that is pulled back and secured in large circular buns on either side of the head. A portion of the figure's left shoulder and chest is visible, with folds of fabric carved into the stone. The sculpture is made of rough-hewn brown stone, with visible texture and imperfections. The background behind the sculpture is beige. The overall style of the sculpture suggests it may be a representation of a Bodhisattva.
