Hello truth friends Collectors Community, 12-09-2018------12:00AM
Here I want to share with you another addiction of collecting that I have for many years now, Austin Product Sculpture, I really enjoy collecting them, I post just a few over the my debut years ago.
This one I really don't know witch personage this depicted, a god, a satire, or some personage from the medieval era.
Strange hair style, Tung out and pointed ears, look a little like Satan, What do you think, stand on a wood base, no damage, beautiful to display.
This Sculpture stand at 10.25 inches by 5 inches wide.
Many thanks for looking.

The company began in Brooklyn, New York, in 1952, manufacturing reproductions of classical Egyptian, Greek and Roman sculptures and expanded into African, Asian and contemporary pieces soon the company expanded into the importation and production of home furnishings and decorative sculptures for the home, with a product line that included wall decorations, mirrors and clocks, in addition to sculptures for homes, gardens and offices. The company remains best known for its hand-cast Durastone and bronze reproductions and hand-painted marble pieces and eventually began producing more contemporary subjects, such as modern sports, movies and popular comic strip characters.
Austin Productions developed a reputation for high-quality reproductions that became collectible despite mass production. The company reproduced thousands of pieces over the years, and retired pieces have high collectible values. The company retired its entire line in 2009, giving rise to an active market of dealers and collectors seeking to complete collections before the items become unavailable.

When I looked at your description, I was wondering if my David was by Austin and it is. I have another Greek goddess, will check later to see if she is marked.
