bust of diana (greek godess)

Hello everyone, i found this beautifull bust of the godess diana if i am not mistaken. It ways 15 kilo and is 50 cm high and is made of some kind of cast material maybe plaster. It has a stamp on it, which i can't decipher. hope someone knows the age of the bust and what the stamp says.

 

here more photo's

 

This is not identical to yours, but yours is the same sort of thing, a plaster casting of the Diana of Versailles.

 

The visible lighter coloured seam line from the mould makes me think not very old. I’m surprised the caster hasn’t tried to patinate it to try and disguise it better.

 

that seam line looks awful..

 

I'm surprised by how widely reproduced she is.

this is the same type of bust and has the same rough seam.:https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/d...ana-plaster-bust-italy-1960-ca/id-f_40166722/

 

theirs is better.....

 

Actually I was referring specifically to the bust. A Google Images search brings up many copies of varying quality and price.



Here's a particularly fine one in marble.

I'll take that last one, thank you very much.

 

what can anyone say about the stamp??

 

it all in the eye of the beholder. my statue is nice and i like it and surely 13 euro is cheap enough for what i paid. it sits proudly on a desk.

 

What a coincidence!

Thanks. Interesting to read.

 

I wish

 

i have found another classical piece and now my study corner is finished

 

I have one, too! Some details are painted gold. A plaster cast, I'm sure. Chips, etc. About 6.5" tall. She does not have a base like the others illustrated in this thread. Usually stands in the shelving unit in the second photo.

 

looking good, i am decorating my home where i moved in 1,5 years ago

 

That sounds like fun!
