| Also *mikenkou ϋΤυ, miken byakugou ϋΤ|, miken byakugousou ϋΤ|, (Sk: urna). A curl of white hair in the middle of the forehead or between the eyebrows of a sculpted figure. Found on images of the Buddha, and also on many bodhisattva *bosatsu μF and other Buddhist deities. One of the 32 attributes of the Buddha *sanjuunisou O\ρ. According to Mahayanist Buddhism, daijou bukkyou ε槳, the byakugou is said to emit a ray of light that illuminates the universe. In sculpture, especially wooden figures, the byakugou was most commonly represented by an inlaid precious stone. A cylindrical crystal, often quartz, was embedded in the forehead. In some early examples, the byakugou was represented by a round wooden mark carved in relief. Other figures, on which this mark is now missing, are thought to have been painted in white pigment, which has since faded. | ||||||
