A specific element that confirms its identification as a bodhisattva is the elaborate turban the figure wears, matching a particular style also seen in other Gandharan bodhisattva images. In the Gandharan style the bodhisattva's prominent mustache was a regular feature; but in the bodhisattva imagery of later centuries it disappeared as these deities came to be represented in more feminine forms.7" x 3.125"SculptureGrey calcareous schistFor use information see: http://www.willamette.edu/arts/hfma/collections/copyright.html
