Head of Guanyin
The sculpture depicts the head of Guanyin. The head has a serene expression with eyes closed, with the eyebrows curved upward slightly. The face is rounded with high cheekbones and a small mouth. The lips are thin and pressed together. The head is adorned with an elaborate headdress. The headdress features a figure sitting cross-legged at the top, surrounded by curved shapes. Below the figure are lotus petals and other decorative elements. The headdress has curved tendrils on either side. Two long, curved shapes hang down from the sides of the headdress, resembling leaves or feathers. The sculpture sits on a dark-colored base. The sculpture appears to be made of stone and has a weathered appearance.
