India Hindu Kshatriya Warrior Handmade with Wood and Stuffed Fabric (Close Up)

The close up picture of the Kshatriya warrior's head shows his hand-painted face with the traditional red mark (bindi) on his forehead. He also has a painted mustache, eyes, eyebrows and mouth. He is wearing a red and gold turban-like hat (also carved from the wood). His stuffed fabric torso is covered with a red shirt. This figure stands 16 inches (40 cm) tall.
