The head of Buddha has an oval shape with half-closed eyes, aquiline nose and sinuous lips. The hair is tied in wide locks. The ear lobes are excessively elongated. All these features create a deep meditative expression. The material is a particular typology of stone: andesite, an effusive igneous rock.
