Gandharan Terracotta Head
Gandharan Terracotta Head
Item Details
Description
2nd-4th century A.D. Male head with finely modelled facial features, urna to the brow, horizontal band to secure the hair, long earlobe with stud; mounted on a custom-made stand. 1.23 kg total, 15 cm high including stand (5 7/8 in.).

Ex London, UK, gallery, 1971-early 2000s.

The partial delamination of the head shows quite strikingly the method of construction: at the centre is a rough, irregular ball to which the outer layer of clay has been added carrying the finer modelling; the brow-band appears to have been modelled at this time from the same material as formed the hair.
