Youthful Bodhisattva

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The black-and-white photograph depicts the head and shoulders of a sculpture. The sculpture is of a human head wearing a hat. The head is angled to the right. The face has a smooth forehead, small nose, and thin lips. The eyes are closed. The sculpture's surface appears rough. The hat on the head is tall with vertical lines running along it. There are decorative elements on the front of the hat. A band wraps around the forehead. Two earrings are visible on the sides of the head. The sculpture sits on a flat surface against a plain wall. A small rectangular label at the bottom reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART". A ruler-like scale is placed next to the label. The image title is "Youthful Bodhisattva". The artist is unknown.
