You are viewing an abstract silver cubist male head and attached black base, measuring 18 inches in height with 6 inch square attached base. Some scratches and minor chips that have been painted over in the past, as indicated.
Circa late 1940's, it was used as a male hat store display with or w/o glasses, or as simply a striking abstract sculpture. The base has more weight to it for stability as the head itself appears lighter and hollow. The head is not plaster but possibly a fiberglass or resin. Austere & futuristic, the male face looks like a robot from some science fiction film.
This is a rare hard to find item for any male mannequin collector. Please view our other unique antiques, collectibles and fine art for sale.
