Passionate Paula
This is a precise REPLICA of a 1930's department store display bust that was molded directly from a vintage model. This lady displays superbly and was sculpted to be singing, kissing, smoking, whispering or whatever the artist who sculpted her had in mind. This model is the 30's deco version followed by a 40's version with a shorter neck and base. For whatever the original portrayal was, I think that she is a very unusual and great display. With your imagination and desired props, the display potential is vast. And she is an excellent millinery model. The height is 16" and the forehead circumference is 21". Apparel is for display only and not included in the sale.
This model was cast with our own technique that we have named "Waxi-Cast". The materials used are made in the USA, non-toxic and very durable. The skin is formed with different layers of translucency and resembles the old wax heads of this era with a similar luminance. There is a 1 1/4" hole in the bottom that safely permits display on a stand if you so desire.
These fantastic vintage models were originally produced for the purpose of store displays and were never intended for public consumption. The originals show the marks of handwork and ours impart the same hand-made "flaws"......they are not perfect, each is totally hand-made and exhibits "old school" techniques.
