Interesting. In his seminal work "Buddha," Tezuka Osama would tend to depict Siddhartha with facial hair like that in later life.
It seemed like an odd, Beatnik-style leap at the time, but I'd say it makes some real sense, given this piece.

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!
Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
