Technical/Specification about the Statue A bust is a sculpted or cast representation of the upper part of the human figure, showcasing a person's head and neck, along with a variable portion of the chest and shoulders. The piece typically rests on a plinth. These forms accurately recreate the likeness of an individual. They can be crafted from any medium used for sculpture, such as marble, bronze, terracotta, or wood. A parallel term, "aust," is a representation of the upper part of an animal or mythical creature. Sculptural portrait heads from classical antiquity are sometimes displayed as busts. However, these are often fragments from full-body statues, or were created to be inserted into an existing body.
