Head of a bodhisattva
The sculpture depicts the head of a bodhisattva by an unknown artist. The head is made of stone, exhibiting a predominantly gray color with visible signs of aging, including cracks and discoloration. The bodhisattva's face is characterized by a serene expression, with eyes that are cast downward and appear to be closed. The eyebrows are thin and arched. The nose is straight, and the lips are thin. The head is adorned with a crown-like structure on top, which features a textured, patterned design. The crown is cylindrical and appears to be made of the same stone as the head. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
