    Circumstances of discovery: the bust was found about 5 years ago in the south of Bavaria during dredging work at a highway construction site in the slope area. It was a surface finding.
    The finder did not see the bust before dredging and unfortunately damaged it a little with his shovel.
    When he then noticed the head from his driver's stand, his first thought was: a part of a corpse!

    Inside the plate on the bottom side of the bust, one of the two stud bolts with which the head was screwed to a granite base, is still in place.

    To show the imposing size of the bust, on the last picture I put a size 64 steel helmet to the busts head.

    The bust shows an interesting Patina which it had developed during almost 70 years outdoors.

    I could have purchased quite a few of these busts over the years, but they were not my area to enjoy.

    Yes, I'm regretting it now.

    Although I do have this "little one", to help me regain my composure..
