Description

Expertly carved 19c bust on pedestal of then 3 star General Ulysses S. Grant in alabaster, may be marble but … more Expertly carved 19c bust on pedestal of then 3 star General Ulysses S. Grant in alabaster, may be marble but I'll defer to alabaster. Amazing detail and character in the carving, piercing eyes in this historically significant piece. Sits on a marble pedestal (may be white onyx). G. U. Grant incised on the base. No artist signature. Overall mild wear as pictured to statue after 150 years.

Grant was the 1st 4 star general since Washington but is shown here when he was a 3 star general. less
