A dark gray limestone sculpture depicts the head of a Bodhisattva facing forward with downcast eyes. Wavy hair is gathered into a tall, pointed crown featuring a small, seated figure at its center. Long earlobes frame the face, and three horizontal creases ring the neck. The sculpture is broken at the base, leaving a jagged edge and a fragment of the right shoulder.
