Vintage Life Sized 1930s 1940s Biracial Female Mannequin Head BustOne of a kind!
She has freckles, several brown tones/streaks in highlighted/shadowed hair (traces of baby hair smoothly transition from hair to face); brown eyes. She's an ethnic African American biracial woman in
her
early 20's OR late teens (18-19). As many mixed race people, she can equally pass for other races as well; Egyptian, Indonesian; possibly East Indian and more. She's looking downwards and to her right. Plenty of detail everywhere. She has the archetypal facial bone structure of what was deemed as the ideal attractive woman of her time (and still today, she's stunningly beautiful!).
I have one other of this type.
They were used to display hats in Department Stores, but can be
used for many purposes; fashion display, sunglasses, vanity vintage item you you and your friends can marvel and daydream at, etc. They do seriously capture your attention; I imagine they would be equally magnetic to customers and/or house guests. However you use her, treat her well. These vintage original mannequin heads are difficult to find and when you do find them, they are in sad shape and not for sale. This is a genuine vintage item from the 30s 40s -- not a reproduction. It's numbered at the back of the neckline area. Very rare quality made mannequin head; in addition to the detailed sculpting, the finishing artwork is unparalleled to anything I've seen on the market. This and the other are very special.
Condition:
Excellent. As with many true vintage mannequin heads, you can hear rattling inside if you shake her, but she is in perfect condition and fully in tact; wonderful structurally and cosmetically. As the real deal vintage work or art that she is, she deserved to be professionally preserved -- rough edges/chipped paint was sanded down, primed and re-painted with the oils of life. Now, she will be around for centuries to come as a hypnotizing antique artifact gem.
