This ancient piece was carved out from a single hard stone that allow smooth finishing for fine details as can be seen on the head-dress. It has a large pierced ear with an ornament stuck to it and a large head with rounded face, typical among the many old stone pieces in Mrauk-U and western part of Myanmar. This one seems to be the most complete with details and in good condition. It is rested inside the main hall of Shitaung, a stone temple. Ancient capital Mrauk-U, 14th century.
