Late 19th Century Austrian Bronze of a Bearded Jew

About the Item

Extremely well cast, with very fine details, bronze bust of a bearded Jew, Austria ,circa 1880. The bust is screwed on a marble base, and measures 3.25 inches high, 2.5 inches wide, 2.25 inches deep. This bronze would have been very expensive to purchase at the time, as its more time consuming process of making the bronze, and finding the right foundry who would do it in this quality would not have been easy. Every item in Menorah Galleries is accompanied by a Lifetime "Certificate of Authenticity" and additional documentation and information regarding the individual artifact and its culture.
