Measures 6 1/2″ tall, 3″ wide at shoulders, marble base is 1 5/8″ x 1 5/8″. Metal bust looks spelter and paint is wearing off with scratches and scuffs, marble column base has nicks and chips with largest back left bottom corner of base. signed on back but hard to make out, looks scribble similar to Franz Iff, who is known for his similar masterful miniature busts. Has small hole back center bust near scribbled signature lines.
Columns little off center from medallion on base but tight, has old hand tooled nut underneath. All in all fun piece of miniature Art Nouveau art that would fit anywhere. Looks like Apollo with lyre but could be another.
Guessing made late 1800s. Cool Little Bust!!!
