Compare with the large head of this style at the Bangkok National Museum, in S. Van Beek, The Arts of Thailand, 1985, ill. p. 115.
It exemplifies the ideal features as laid out in the Silpasastra, where the head is in the shape of an egg, the hair resembles the stings of scorpions, the nose is like a parrot's beak, the eyebrows form drawn bows, and the chin is in the shape of a mango stone, cf. T. Bowie, The Art of Thailand, 1960, p. 92.
