La cabeza perdida

While I was visiting an art museum in Cuernava (the house of an American who collected art from all over the world and donated his house and collection as a museum when he died) I was drawn to the head of a Buddha, one that I recognized from the many I had seen last year in Thailand. Upon reading the caption under the head, I found that it was one of the many missing Buddha heads belonging to one of the many headless Buddha bodies of the ruins in Ayutthaya Thailand. It was interesting after hearing the stories of how so many Thai ruins had been plundered and Buddha statues releived of their heads to be sold to collectors around the world, to actually see one, all the way on the other side of the world.
