Head of a Bodhisattva
The image shows a grayscale head sculpture of a Bodhisattva by an unknown artist. The sculpture depicts a human-like head with a serene expression, closed eyes, and a slight smile. The figure has a rounded face with a small nose and ears on the sides. The hair is styled in a tall, pointed topknot with wavy lines carved into it. A small circle is on the forehead. The sculpture appears to be made of stone or clay and has a rough texture with visible cracks. It sits on a black base with a white label that reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM". The background is plain white.
