The Head of Buddha by an unknown artist depicts a sculpture of a human head. The head is positioned facing forward. The head has a brown color with darker brown and lighter brown patches. The hair is styled in a rounded topknot with curved lines carved into it to indicate individual strands. The eyes are closed. The eyebrows are thin. The nose is straight. The lips are thin and form a slight curve. The head appears to be made of stone. A thin metal pole protrudes from the bottom and holds the head up. The background is gray and white, gradating from dark at the top to light at the bottom. A shadow is cast by the head.
