Moses Bust – Late Victorian bust, circa: 1890 – 1900. Hollow cast bust with fine custom hand painted details on the vial. The bust was damaged during a burglary. During the mold making process, the thickness on the plaster was inconsistent. It is much thinner at the back side. Reinforcement is needed at the back side of the inner bust, above the base to prevent the weight of the head to crack the base while being repaired. A composition of plaster, marble dust and glue was made and applied over a layer of burlap where needed for reinforcement.

    Smaller pieces were glued together, missing pieces were made form plaster, marble dust and glue. Touch up and light restoration of the clear lacquer.
