Head of Guanyin

The sculpture depicts a stone head of Guanyin. The head has a serene expression with closed eyes and a subtle, enigmatic smile. The face is elongated with high cheekbones and a smooth, rounded forehead. Two long earlobes hang down from the sides of the head. The headdress is intricately carved with swirling patterns and small figures. A central figure sits on the top of the headdress in a meditative pose. Two small, curled shapes protrude from the left and right sides of the headdress. The sculpture sits on a wooden base. The background is a gradient gray color.
