<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 746822, member: 1476"]Jordan, your marble sculpture is called a "bust" because it depicts just the head and shoulders of the human figure. Your piece is likely from the late-1800s Renaissance Revival period. This type of bust was made in marble, alabaster and chalkware (plaster.) Typically, they came from Italy. Yours appears to have some damage which will effect value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
