Summary edit

Description
English: The head of a Bodhisattva is a beautiful example of stucco figures from Gandhara. It shows a perfect combination of physical beauty and spiritual content. The almond shaped eyes, the gently carved eyebrows, straight nose, sensuous lips, the soft outline of the oval face and the hairdo are all suggestive of Gandhara features and reflect the serene, contemplative mood that imbues it with a lifelike quality.
Size: 15.1x10.2x13 cm.
