This is a finely detailed bronze-finished desktop bust depicting a German soldier wearing a transitional-style M16 or M17 helmet. The sculpture showcases impressive craftsmanship, with a high level of detail evident in the facial features and helmet design. There is some minor wear on the front edge of the helmet rim.
Although the bust appears to be solid metal, it has been finished with an aged bronze patina for an authentic period look. It is securely mounted on a polished black marble base, which has a thin green felt covering on the underside to protect surfaces.
The overall height of the bust is approximately 14 cm. The marble base measures 7 x 7 cm with a height of 3 cm. A striking and well-crafted piece, ideal for display in any WWII militaria collection.
