<p>[QUOTE="dude, post: 1362849, member: 13170"]I think the clown busts are folk art pieces. They weigh about 2.5 lbs each and are about 15 or 16" high. It seems that the hats have paper mache or some kind of tape over the ceramic then shellac over top. Their lifelike melancholy expressions have unnerved some visitors, but they don't bother me. I'm wondering what you folks think about when, where, and by whom they were made, as well as value. As for the clown pic, I don't know the artist or the medium. Looks like colored pencil to me. The pic (not including frame) is about 15.5" x 12." I'd love to hear what you experts have to say about this piece as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]221121[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]221122[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]221123[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]221124[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]221125[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]221126[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]221127[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]221128[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]221129[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]221130[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
