Description

This head and shoulders bust depicts President Abraham Lincoln. He is bearded and his head is turned slightly to the viewer's right. Lincoln is wearing an outer coat, a buttoned collared shirt and a bow tie. The bust rests on a trapezoidal base which has on the front of it a sprig of leaves on it with the faint words, "In War Time." The entire piece is a dark tan color. On the back of the pedestal the letters "Morse" are faintly visible. Part of the Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection, courtesy of the Indiana State Museum
