Object description

"Terra-cotta relief. Probably part of appliqué decoration of vessel."

".. there is the head illustrated in Pl. X,4, which may possibly have formed part of the decorative relief ornamentation on some clay vessel. (Stein 1921, vol IV (Yo 00182). It is of careful workmanship, and the features are well formed. The face is beardless, but parallels pertaining to Indian sculptural art testify to the masculinity of the head in question. The turban-like head-ornament with an erected ring in the middle is closely related to the Bodhisattva figures of the Gandhara school. (Foucher 1905/22, fig. 359, 413 etc." Montell 1936./Is

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
