This highly detailed bust of Shakespeare is based on near contemporary illustrations of the Bard and is hand cast in Bath in fine British plaster. Around the base there are a series of details associated with Shakespeare and his works, including quill and ink, scrolls and books, the Greek masks of comedy and tragedy, a crown, the famous Hamlet skull and the Capulet Rose and Montague Swords from Romeo and Juliet.
The quote around the base reads "to thine own self be true" from Act 1, scene 3 of Hamlet. The bust is flat backed and can also be used as a decorative bookend.
Made in the UK.
Height: 120mm. The bust comes boxed.
