    I couldn't avoid it. $40 for a reasonably well modeled/sculpted, pretty modern female portrait was a bargain. This bust is 13" (33 cm) high by 8" wide (20 cm). I love the multicolored glazing of this piece.

    It is signed "SAL 16-01-58"...couldn't find any known artist by this name or signature style...I only hope this is Gala portrayed by SALvador Dalí LOL...anyway, it is still a great decorative piece, now living in my loft.

      Phil, Queen Elizabeth visited Bazil 10 years after this sculpture was made, in 1968. On that occasion, she inaugurated MASP, the Sao Paulo Art Museum.

      In that second photo I see a resemblance to Queen Elizabeth, or am I seeing things ?
