Head, Probably of a Disciple, in High Relief

15th century (Sukhothai) 13 9/16 in. (34.5 cm) Citation Source image

This head has multiple incised lines- above and below both eyes and mouth- that give the object such vibrancy. There is a hole at the top of the head, where a separately modeled or molded "usnisa" could be placed.
