About the Item
This rare artistic and head of a man comes from the estate of a wealthy art collection. The execution of this masterpiece is extraordinary, as this life-sized work of art was put together from clay sausages, which can be seen very clearly in the photo which shows the inside of the head. The head is outstanding and artistically created. The material used was the biblical material clay, the same from which humanity was created, an artistic achievement. Unfortunately the artist did not sign this piece, but one can certainly say that it is an exceptional exhibit. The bust comes from the German-speaking part of Europe, probably Switzerland or Germany, unfortunately more precise information could not be found out. The weight of the head is 8.1 kg and is therefore quite heavy. Artist may be Hans Josephson
