About the Item

The effigy represents "Marianne," the national symbol of the French Republic, embodying liberty, equality, and fraternity. This particular artifact is a large plaster mold used to create a bust of Marianne, a prominent figure in French iconography. The mold is divided into two parts, corresponding to the front and back of the bust, allowing for detailed casting. The initials "R.F.," standing for "République Française" (French Republic), are prominently displayed, emphasizing the connection to the nation's republican values. Originating from 19th century France, this mold reflects the period's artistic and political significance, capturing the spirit of the era through its representation of Marianne. The size and craftsmanship suggest it was intended for creating a statue of notable size, likely for public display or a significant institutional setting.
