Head of a Bodhisattva

This very good small head was according to my sourcing originally form the "Thousand Buddha" cave temple near Chengdu in Sichuan Province. This piece has been expertly mounted on a base of African hardwood. I have very much enjoyed keeping this piece on my desk and think it would make a welcome addition to anyone else's.
