Head of Krishna (?)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Head of Krishna is a sculpture of a human head with a tall, rectangular headdress. The head is made of brown stone with darker speckles. It has a serene expression, with eyes that are cast downward and a slight smile. The nose is straight and proportional to the rest of the face. The eyebrows are thin and slightly arched. The ears are partially visible on either side of the head. The rectangular headdress is tall and straight, with a rough texture on its surface. The background of the image fades from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
