Description

This bust of President Abraham Lincoln depicts him from the chest up. Lincoln appears somewhat aged, with many wrinkles on his face. His head is turned slightly to the viewer's right. His hair is combed back and he is bearded. Lincoln wears a suit jacket, vest, collared shirt, and bow tie. The bust rests on a scalloped circular pedestal. Just below the bust is the inscription, "Lincoln." The entire piece is a medium bronze color. On bottom of base, "Syroco Wood No. 9791 Lincoln Statuette. Bronze."
