Head of Lokeshvara

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Head of Lokeshvara by unknown artist. The image shows a stone sculpture of a human head. The head is carved from a light-brown stone and has a serene expression with eyes closed. The head is adorned with a hat-like structure on top, which is also intricately carved. The hat has a cylindrical shape with a flat top and a carved pattern around its base. The head is facing forward, and the background of the image is a plain gray color. The sculpture appears to be an ancient artifact, possibly from Asia.
