Description
A Buddha head statue, which is a popular decorative item that symbolizes Buddha's wisdom and knowledge. The specific style, with its small, tightly packed curls (ushnisha) and serene, half-closed eyes, is reminiscent of traditional Indian art styles like the Gupta or Sarnath periods, which later influenced art in Southeast Asia. The cranial bump on top of the head represents Buddha's expanded wisdom and spiritual awakening. The dot between the eyebrows (though faint in this specific carving) symbolizes the Buddha's supernatural vision or "third eye". The elongated earlobes are a reminder of Prince Siddhartha's life of luxury when he wore heavy, extravagant earrings before renouncing his material wealth to pursue a spiritual path. The facial expression indicates a state of deep meditation, looking inward to the self as well as outward to the world. 6" H x 2.25" W Good condition.
