Fragment of Bodhisattva Head
A carved stone head fragment shows a serene face with heavy-lidded, downcast eyes, a small mouth set in a slight smile, and a tall tiered headdress. The rough granular surface and broken base suggest it was once part of a larger figure.
Look closer: The carved stone behind the head, a rounded element at the right edge, suggests a halo or attached background slab.
