Chinese WWII Chiang Kai-shek Patriotic Bust

Original era manufacture. This rather odd piece of patriotica was purchased from an old friend of ours in Tucson. He's owned for decades and was just one of those things that he acquired over the years....a classic white-elephant. The object stands around 8 inches in height, the generalissimo is formed of cast alloy with a subdued bronze coloring. He is placed on a white painted wooden base with a ribbed body. Normal age and wear.
