Description
This mannequin head is reminiscent of various ceramic hat stands formed as a woman’s head that were produced by the Stangl Pottery Company, Trenton, New Jersey in the mid 20th century. Other earlier extant American, English, and continental painted examples made in paper mache and wood are known, some considered folk art. Figurine heads of this type are generally said to have been made for display of hats in a millinery shop or the storage of hats or wigs at home. This example is unusual in its abstract form as a solar system with face with planets.
Condition: Fine overall.
