An Afghan woman looks at the head of a Buddha, made from raw clay, found in the region of Kabul Province, Afghanistan, and dated from the 5th to 6th century. The head is part of a collection of ancient sculptures currently on display at the National Museum of Afghanistan in Kabul. They had been destroyed by Islamists during the Taliban regime and were repaired after the collapse of the hardliners in 2001.
