Our Hadrian Bust is made from terracotta-based ceramic, formulated in a method the Italians refer to as "calco", the act of packing a perfectly produced mold with terracotta clay. Once allowed to dry it is pulled away from the mold and transferred to a kiln where it's fired at 950 degrees, then fired for a 2nd time after being glazed in our signature antique white.
Love it! Very high quality and a nice size. Pairs nicely with the Mars sculpture, also from Global Views.. Jamison. New Orleans. Sun Feb 16 2025
