Die Kontur des Haaransatzes geschwungen, der Ushnisha eine halbkugelige Kuppel, die Ohren S-förmig mit rundlichen Ohrläppchen. Beeindruckend der selbstbewusste Ausdruck in den Gesichtszügen. Aufgrund von Erdlagerung vielfach Ankrustungen mit farblichem Einfluß auf das Gestein. Gediegen montiert auf metallenem Sockel.

Dieser künstlerisch sehr hochwertige Kopf stammt aus der Sammlung eines französischen Adelshauses und war seit mindestens 1967 in deren Besitz. Diese Sammlung geht zurück bis Évariste Regis Huc (1813 – 1860), einem französischen Missionar und Entdecker, der weitum bekannt wurde durch seine Durchquerungen von Mongolei, Tibet und China. Er dürfte auch der erste Europäer gewesen sein, der 1846 Lhasa erreicht hat. Huc hat den Grundstock für diese Sammlung gelegt, die 1967 systematisch erfaßt und dokumentiert wurde, jedoch ohne nähere Angaben, wann die jeweiligen Objekte erworben wurden.
