# Sculpture

The head is from the figure of a prince or possibly that of a bodhisattva. The youthful, clean-shaven face is cast from a mould and further defined with a graver. The turban-like headdress is modelled by hand. This consists of a fold across the forehead with oval pads of twisted fabric on the sides.

- **Kind:** artefact
