A large-scale vintage wall-mounted decorative bust depicting a stylised female figure, reflecting a mid-20th-century exoticist aesthetic. The piece is crafted from painted chalkware and features a matte black finish to the skin, closed eyes, and vibrant red lips. The figure is adorned in a highly ornate headdress comprising tiered gold-painted bands with geometric patterns, a row of red-painted pointed elements, and decorative black scrollwork. She wears large, circular gold-toned ear ornaments and a patterned bodice with matching gold and black detailing. The style is reminiscent of productions by makers such as Bossons or Legend Products, though no maker’s marks, model numbers, or labels are visible.
Length: Approximately 40 cm.
