Buddha head, Pagan Kingdom, Burma, 17th century

Descriptio Sculpted gray sandstone, polychromed in black and white. A Buddha head with a serene expression, characterized by half-closed eyelids that encourage introspection, defined lips forming a slight, beatific smile, and exposed ears with elongated lobes, symbols of spiritual nobility. The hair is crowned with a discreet ushnisha, a sign of wisdom and awakening. The surface retains traces of ancient polychromy and period patina, giving the work an intense spiritual presence characteristic of statuary from the Pagan kingdom.
