4. Bodhisattva Head [No. 510, acquired in February 1915 from the site of Katra Keshavadeva, deposited in the Mathura Museum; material grey white stone, about 3rd century A.D.]. The head and crown are similar to No. 3 above, and the arrangement of the Garuḍa figures is also alike, though not so well preserved. There is a continuous pearl string held in the beak of all the Garuḍa figures and fastened at both ends with small rosettes attached to the crown. [Fig. 71]
