Great Head of Buddha

This peaceful Head of Buddha was inspired by a piece located at Preah Khan temple in Angkor site. A Buddha refers to a person who has reached a perfect level of consciousness and knowledge, an enlightened being.

The finely carved shape of the sandstone statue is rendered with simplicity and softness. Buddhism was introduced in Cambodia during the 5th century and is the state religion since the 13th century.
