Head of a Buddha, Bronze Sculpture

A bronze head of the Buddha with eyes gently lowered, a serene smile, elongated earlobes, and tightly curled hair rising to a domed ushnisha. The weathered surface shows green patina and brown tones against a plain light background, with the neck cut off flat at the base.
