Description

This bust depicts President Abraham Lincoln from the chest up and is a copy of a Lincoln bust by sculptor Vinnie Ream. Lincoln is shown facing the viewer with his head slightly turned to the viewer's right. Lincoln is bearded and is wearing a coat, vest, shirt, and bow tie. The bust sits on a tall square pedestal.
