A decorative bust sculpture depicting a stylized female figure from the shoulders up, consistent with a mid-20th century aesthetic, evoking influences from Art Deco or similar figurative movements. The sculpture features a dark-skinned individual with an elaborate updo hairstyle, adorned with a beaded necklace and a draped garment. It is crafted from a cast composite material, likely plaster (chalkware), finished with a dark, almost black, patination, complemented by applied metallic bronze or gold accents on the necklace and the garment’s strap. No visible text or markings are present.
