The sculpture combines a broad meditative face, long pierced earlobes, tightly modelled hair curls and a raised ushnisha with a warm brown copper-alloy surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStyle and iconography\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe urna on the forehead, elongated earlobes and ushnisha are established attributes of Buddha imagery. The modelling draws on Nepalese and wider Himalayan visual traditions while also incorporating Southeast Asian influences, so the piece is catalogued by style rather than assigned to a specific regional workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBronze and construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe head is hollow cast in bronze or a copper alloy and shows hand-finishing, surface variation and naturally developed patina.
