Mid-20th Century English Weathered Ghostly Plaster Bust
About
Macabre and ghostly in appearance this aged mid-20th century plaster bust has grown faded and weathered over time. Leaving a very sinister yet highly decorative look, artistic and unique in appearance. The bust has 2 metal rods protruding from the underneath shoulder section, this leads us to believe this bust would likely have been part of a full torso form originally. Recently uncovered in a barn from a house clearance in Kent. A brilliant curio/macabre look as im sure you will agree, weighing roughly 15 / 20kg. The item once stood upright leans forward due to the metal rods inserted beneath.
