About the Item

This well executed hand carved bust is unsigned, but believed to have been done in England in circa 1900 in the period Edwardian style. The sculpture is composed of solid oak and depicts a chubby monk with his head tilted slightly and looking upwards, presumably towards the Heavens. The carving is very well detailed from all sides and was done in two pieces which are screwed together from the base.
