It formed part of a life-size figure, probably of Gautama the Buddha as a young man. Like much Gandharan stucco, this head was originally richly polychromed, and traces of red remain on the lips, eyelids and hair. - **Kind:** artefact - **Date:** 300–500 CE --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/inp.artefact.vam.im-3-1931](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.artefact.vam.im-3-1931) · Pramāṇa
