A unique OOAK 1970 (assuming "70" on bottom is the year) sculpture bust discovered at an estate sale in Missouri. Note the peace symbol hanging from the hippy's neck is actually the Mercedes Benz logo suggesting the artist chose a hippie subject but was not one themself... This piece stands 11.25" Tall and base 4.5" x 4.5" wide . It looks to be made of metal (like bronze) but I feel it was produced out of potters clay with an unknown glaze technique. You can see how it was pieced together and not from a single mold. The seller felt this is hollow but hard to prove or disprove, and weighs in the ballpark of a surprising 4 lbs. Nice period art immortalizing a free spirit.
