À propos de la sculpture

This head originally formed part of a large-scale image of Buddha Shakyamuni. It may date from the end of the Shailendra dynasty, which ruled Java between 760 and 830AD. The Shailendra rulers were strong supporters of Mahayana Buddhism and erected many Buddhist monuments in central Java, including the great temple complex of Borobudur.
