Head of Buddha
China (Xinjiang Autonomous Region)
6th–7th century
Not on view

This unfired head is related to fifth- to seventh-century clay sculpture from Afghanistan, especially in the treatment of the eyebrows and in the hairstyle of three rows of curls. The site of Rawak comprises a cruciform stupa (relic mound) based on architecture established in Afghanistan and Gandhara; the enclosing wall of this sacred precinct was embellished with hundreds of clay Buddhas and bodhisattvas such as this one.

这枚未烧制的头像与源自阿富汗、时间介于5至7世纪间的陶质雕塑作品有关，尤其是其在处理眉毛以及呈现三排卷发造型方面的特点。新疆和田地区Rawak遗址包括一座十字形佛塔(舍利堆)，其建筑风格可追溯至阿富汗和犍陀罗地区所确立的传统这座神圣区域的围墙内壁上装饰有数百尊陶制佛像和菩萨像，其中就包括这一尊。
