北魏 砂岩石雕佛首


sensitively carved with an elongated face accentuated with downcast eyes below gracefully arched eyebrows, the serene countenance centred with a pronounced long nose, above lips tenderly lifted at the corners in a beatific smile, framed by a pair of pendulous earlobes and hair neatly swept up into a domed ushnisha, the grainy stone of a mottled grey colour, Japanese wood stand

19.5 cm
