<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluemoon, post: 255812, member: 1296&quot;]A bust of the composer G. Puccini.</p><p>Apparently it&#039;s circa 1930 according to this site that has one of them as well: <a href="http://ashleywadeantiques.co.uk/index.php/gallery/detail/composition-bust-of-composer-puccini" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://ashleywadeantiques.co.uk/index.php/gallery/detail/composition-bust-of-composer-puccini" rel="nofollow">http://ashleywadeantiques.co.uk/index.php/gallery/detail/composition-bust-of-composer-puccini</a></p><p>If it&#039;s truly that old, it would make sense that the bust was made in the late 20&#039;s since Puccini died in 1924.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]79439[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m a bit confused when it comes to the material. It&#039;s more durable and more &quot;stone-like&quot; than plaster but when I decided to wash it (at that point I thought it would withstand that), pieces of the base started to break off and liqyify, like plaster (thank goodness it was the base). Luckily I was quick to dry it and noticeable damage was avoided.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
