Description

This bust depicts President Abraham Lincoln from the waist up. He is bearded and wearing an open outer coat, a buttoned waistcoat, shirt, and bow tie. His head is slightly turned toward the viewer's left. The bust rests on a square based pedestal. The top of the pedestal is decorated with a pattern that reassembles woven cord. The entire bust is a medium bronze color. One unique characteristic of this bust is that the sculptor added a button to each side of the lapel on Lincoln's frock coat.
