Head from a Buddha image. The hair undulates densely from a small peak and the hairline into and beyond a flat and large uṣṇīṣa. The forehead is narrow above sharp and curving edges for eyebrows below which smoothly curving planes slope inward to long, protruding rounded eyes, where the lower edges of the upper lids curve and dip. The large nose is narrow and straight, continuing the edges of the eyebrows at the top; above, well up on the forehead, is a raised ūrṇā. The wings of the nose and nostrils are rather weakly executed; the narrow upper lip is modelled beside the philtrum to suggest a moustache and the mouth is shaped and horizontal above a well-formed, emphatic chin. A sharp change of plane occurs between chin and neck.
