A fine quality antique bronze over spelter bust of Hitler. Standing 25cm high, the good quality head retains 99% of its original antique bronzed finish over the spelter base. To the reverse of the head is the impressed artist's signature 'Schmidt-Hofer'. The bust survives together with its original black polished granite base.

Note: Schmidt-Hofer was involved in the making of many sculptures during the rise of the Third Reich Period. Apart from formal busts, he also undertook the sculpturing of a variety of animal subjects.
