About this work

This is a black-and-white photo of a small stone bust. The figure has a calm face with smooth, rounded features. Its hair is pulled back into two buns, and it wears a simple necklace and draped shoulder cloth. The head sits on a block, and one arm rests on the base, hand open. The surface looks worn, with some rough patches on the arm. This photo was taken in the 1920s, showing an old sculpture that likely came from Cambodia.
