12/13thC Pagan Buddha Head sculpted in Clay/Stucco/Teracotta- Distinctive.

Description

Here we present an extremely charming Pagan terracotta Buddha head. The features are so unusual that it almost looks monkey like, with a flat forehead and crown, floppy ears, and protruding lips. It has losses and wear , as can be seen in the photos. The original piece would have been a very good size statue at close to 3 feet tall. I've never seen another like it. Head is 5" tall, total height is 7”
