D. Brucciani & Co of London. An ebonised plaster bust of Augustus, with integral socle, height 27in.
Estimate £200-300
Thought to date from the mid 20th century but possibly a little earlier, black painted finish may well have been overpainted at some point but still looks effective and has a mostly matted tone, a few light areas of scuffing around the edges where the white plaster is showing through.
