Hôtel Drouot, Paris, 2nd June 1965, lot 53.

Condition

The head is in overall very good condition. There is an uncarved patch to the back of the head where it was attached to the rock. The front part of the ushnisha is boken off and missing as is the tip of the head's left earlobe and lower part of the head's right earlobe (all visible in the catalogue illustration). The ridge of the nose is missing and there are small chips to the raised parts of the face. The carving is crisp and the face has a beautiful expression. The stone is of a slighty darker tone than the catalogue illustration suggests.
