DescriptionThe Buddha head has a cranial protuberance, ushnisha, flattened kudos of curls in the peaked hairline. Atop it is a broken-off flame filial. The eyes are downcast, and the aqualine nose has a flattened tip, perhaps from damage. There is an etched moustache, slight smile, and long, broken-off earlobes. A circular piece at the back of the skull has been reattached, and it is broken at the neck.
