Alexander the Great Bust
This cream-coloured bust depicts a male head in the classical manner, identified as Alexander the Great. The sculpted head has tightly curled hair swept back from the brow, a straight nose, a closed mouth and a calm, downward gaze. It stands on a square plinth base, and the front of the base bears a faint inscription. The piece appears to be cast in a composition material, possibly resin or plaster, and its finish is smooth across the face and deeply modelled in the hair.
Condition and Collectability
The bust shows a visible line across the neck area, where the sculpture appears to have been joined or previously repaired. There is some surface wear and light marking to the base and neck. The inscription on the base is faint and difficult to read in its current state. Buyers interested in classical-style décor or ancient history themed pieces may appreciate the subject and the traditional form of the sculpture, although the visible neck line and wear should be taken into account when assessing it.
