Mid to Late 1800s Stone Buddha Head Sculpture Statue 7" Heavy Fragment

Description

This is a heavy, hand-carved stone head depicting the Buddha in a classical style, possibly Gandhara or Gupta inspired.
It features a serene expression with downcast eyes, elongated earlobes (symbolizing wisdom), and tight snail-shell curls (ushnisha) covering the head.
The stone is a dark gray-black color, likely basalt or hard sandstone, with a matte, weathered finish that gives it the appearance of an ancient fragment or temple salvage piece.
The back of the head is rounded, and the neck is unevenly cut, suggesting it was once part of a larger statue or was designed to look like a relic.
It measures approximately 7 inches tall and is quite substantial in weight for its size. The condition is good, with intentional weathering and surface texture that adds to its aged aesthetic.
Likely originating from cambodia
