About the Item
A sensitively carved limestone monumental head of the Buddha, China, mid-20th century.
The large carved limestone head displays a quiet sensuousness typical of the Northern Qi style, and follows Northern Qi stylistic conventions, with an oval shaped head covered in pinwheel shaped curls. His full lips pursed in a knowing smile under a strong nose. His heavily lidded eyes gazing downwards from under high arching brows.
A perfect piece for the garden. The head showing signs of weathering, with lichen growing on the curls and streaking from water on the sides of his face.
