About the Item

For those who are wanting sculpture of any Shakespeare characters, we have that here for you. We know it is the head of King Richard III being held by another man. For those who know Shakespeare plays, you probably would know who is holding the King's head. The bronze is well cast with the original gilt finish and is mounted on the original colorful onyx base. This sculpture is extremely heavy, mostly due to the thick stone base.
