A GRAY LIMESTONE HEAD OF A BODHISATTVA
TANG DYNASTY

The round face carved with a gentle, almost smiling expression, the segmented hair drawn up into a coiled topknot decorated in front with an arrangement of 'jewels' set above a flowerhead centering the fillet which binds the hair, the dark gray stone with traces of a now buff-colored slip and traces of other color pigments in the recesses
11 3/4in. (29.8cm.) high, metal stand
