Depictions of the Buddha vary greatly, with different postures signifying different meanings. The Buddha with his hands over his eyes is called the "See No Evil Buddha." It is based on the Asian proverb of "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil."

Buddha has one hand on the floor because he wants to stay grounded. When all of the evils in the world are in the wind above him and flying all around him, Buddha continues to stay meditated on on the ground, in a state of nirvana. Buddha will not be picked up and be tossed into the winds of evil, instead, he will stay grounded with one finger on the floor.

In most sitting meditation, a position of many Buddha statues, the head is somewhat down turned to help balance it on the neck. The chin is tucked in lightly, the back of the neck long. Tucking the chin in too tightly makes you feeel dull and sleepy, too fat back makes you distracted. Your mental atention is focussed on your "hara" a region near your navel.

Given all of this there is no example I can think of where the Buddha has his head down in his hands.

The hands resting on the lap of a Buddha represents meditation. This stance is the most popular of Buddha, and signifies self-discipline, insight, and great character.
