    Description

    Offered is my vintage chalkware bust originally of Pope Paul VI, pope from 1963 to 1978. This chalkware bust was found by me in a Goodwill store about 4 years ago as I seek things out, such as this, to be painted. Such as old sculptures, Hindu, Egyptian or otherwise unique pieces etc.
    I had this piece painted by a well known "Day-of-the-Dead" artist who does commissions and regularly attends trade shows and has their own booth at such events.  This artist used the Papa Emeritus II photo I provided and expertly  painted this 8 inch high sculpture. It is 8" tall X base of 4" wide and is 4 1/2" depth. The overall weight is 1 lb 13 oz or 830 grams. Note the original cross on the pope hat where it was modified to be the upside down cross.
    The quality is essentially as-good-as-it-gets and this vintage original chalkware bust is probably otherwise unobtainable. Details of the eyes and stiched lips and thick makeup are all professional artist grade. I've never seen another original sculpture of Forge's Papa Emeritus anywhere. And this particular depiction is considered to be the 'Fan's favorite' according to Fansided online website.
    Unique for the true fan, this piece is a true 'masterpiece' for this type of Metal band art work.
