Buddha head

Meditative face carving

Buddha head refers to a sculpture or decorative object depicting the head of the Buddha, typically showing serene features, closed or downcast eyes, and elongated earlobes.

These are popular in home décor and gardens, though some Buddhists consider displaying a severed head—separated from a full statue—disrespectful or culturally insensitive.

In slang, Buddha head is a derogatory term for a person of Asian descent, or sometimes a marijuana smoker.
