Summary
A doll's house size plaster bust of a man on a tall wooden pedestal. The bust is painted in copper-coloured paint with green 'verdigris' in the indentations. The man is wearing a flat-topped 'beret-type' hat and has frills at his throat. The pedestal is turned, with a square base and square top, to which the bust is now secured by means of a nail (although it is loose and comes off easily). Gold-coloured paint is used to pick out the details on the pedestal. Total number of items is 2.
