    I bought this Beethoven bust at a yard sale when I was 19 years old. It is a full-sized bust at just over 12". When I bought this it was actually as a set of 3 busts: Beethoven, Napoleon, & Mozart. I only wanted this Beethoven piece so I could place it on my guitar amp at the time. But had to buy all three from the seller. I have the Napolean (will be posted soon), but the Mozart bust was misplaced.

      Still love it! I have a bust of Beethoven too! A friend knew that I was in the hunt for one many years ago and gave me hers for my birthday, I have it on a shelf surrounded by Czech glass birds,.....actually a beautiful group:) I also have a bust of Shakespeare, a beautiful old thing that used to be at the foot of my bed but is now vacationing in the attic. It'll be back down soon!
      Do you still play guitar?
