Getty Works to Restore the Buddha Head from Merv
Original: Making the Buddha Head from Merv Whole Again

The work involves piecing the damaged sculpture back together and stabilising it for study and display. Interest centres on how modern conservation techniques can preserve Buddhist heritage from Central Asia.
