The principal head is set between two smaller heads facing the left and right sides, each modelled with a third eye, all set below a crown inset with hardstones, enclosing the hair upswept into a double chignon and secured by a leaf-form finial. The eight arms are held in mudras. Traces of paint. Height 18 cm.
