Description

I recently acquired a bust made by the Universal Statuary Corp., copyrighted in 1965, with item number 987. The artist's signature says (as far as we can tell) Triarn Jiam. I believe the statue may be Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II. He has a medal on his chest with four dovetailed points and a flying bird pointing downward.  The bust has a felt pad on the bottom, and has gold paint brushed on some parts.

I have not been able to find any specific information on either the statue or the medal he is wearing.
