Three Stone Buddha Heads

Three Buddha heads arrived at GOBOKII separately; seated in a row, they became a trio. A pale face mottled by weathering, a dark face with crisp curls, a face keeping half its gilding — different stones, different centuries.

With the three sitting side by side, eyes half closed, footsteps passing before them slow down on their own.
