Description
This bronze Buddha head, likely from the 18th-19th century, hails from Southeast Asia, as suggested by the style of the ushnisha and serene countenance. Measuring 6.5 cm by 3.5 cm, this artifact reflects the profound spirituality and skilled metalwork synonymous with the region’s Buddhist art. The head, although fragmentary, exudes a sense of calm and contemplation, characteristic of Buddha representations. The ushnisha, a symbol of spiritual insight, is gracefully executed, while the facial features follow classical proportions. This piece would have originally been part of a larger statue used for worship and meditation within a temple setting, serving as an object of veneration and focus for practitioners on the path to enlightenment.
