Everything changes


Anicca (Impermanence)-Headless Buddha
My terracotta Buddha's lost his head. He spent several years outside sitting at the end of my garden path in front of an urn. He seems quite unperturbed. His face still has the same serene expression. I think the frost must have got to him at some point or he may have been knocked by a clumsy marauding fox. Its a pity as he's acquired a nice patina with age (when I first got him he was fresh from the kiln and bright orange). Can you repair terracotta? I'm not sure glue will work. We'll see...
