HEAD. <br>H:49cm (19.29in) H:30cm (11.81in) This is a fragmented head sculpture of Sakyamuni Buddha carved from white marble of Tang Dynasty. It features neat stacked spiral hair with tall full ushnisha. The urna on the forehead is dotted with gilded technique, showing ???? and restrained luster. Its facial features inherit the grand and graceful aesthetic of prosperous Tang Dynasty, with full round face, straight thick nose and gentle restrained lip lines. The half-closed eyes present a tranquil merciful aura, fully showing the magnificent and graceful artistic charm of Tang Dynasty. The marble texture is delicate and smooth with distinct carving lines. The remaining original gilded traces show natural weathered mottled texture after thousand-year erosion, yet remaining elegant primitive charm. As a classic relic of Tang Dynasty temple stone sculpture, it retains complete spiritual charm despite being a fragment, serving as a top-grade ??? for studying the style and craftsmanship of Northern Tang Dynasty Buddhist sculpture. <br><br>ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH NO RETURNS OR CANCELLATIONS.<br><br> Additional photographs and condition reports may be provided upon request as a courtesy only.
