# Figure

Head, perhaps of a deity or Bodhisattva, turned a little to his right. Above a border of large curls is a fillet; the hair runs in wavy vertical grooves from it to a chignon under a barrel-shaped bead flanked by two locks or ribbons undulating to the sides. Here the hair falls in thick strands to the back.

- **Kind:** artefact
