What can I say?  Nothing . .  that would adequately describe this Buddha head.

 

The crown of hair (aka Ushnisha) – one of the most iconic features of Buddhist art – is fully in tact with the common peppercorn-like curls (representing freedom) and moving upward to a flame point.

 

Acquired from a private collector of Buddhist art who claims to have acquired this head fragment in that late 1960s.

 

For the Serious Collector.  Little oxidation with excellent patina.

 

Sold with stand.
