Small Cast Iron or Bronze Bust, Folk Studio Work, Early to Mid-20th Century - Compact figural bust modeled in rough-cast metal (iron or bronze alloy), depicting a male head and shoulders with simplified facial detail and textured patina. The surface retains heavy oxidation and irregular tooling, giving it an archaic, almost excavated appearance. Signed faintly “Bop” or “Bop2” along the lower chest. Likely a studio or folk casting, capturing expressive realism within a minimalist form. 5 in. H × 3 ½ in. W × 3 ½ in. D Condition: Heavy surface corrosion and oxidation; stable and displays well.
