8&3/4" high from underside of base to highest part of hat. You will be hard pressed to find another bust of the great emancipator wearing his signature stove pipe hat (that he was so well known for). Comprised primarily of plaster, (hat comprised of card stock paper), underside is lined with green felt. I am the sculptor and I signed (and also numbered) the work on back (only 7 others currently exist). I do admit the back is less than perfect(see pics) and there is a mild wrinkle on hat in back but it is in the back and generally not conspicuous. No cracks or chips. From a smoke-free, pet-free home, message me any questions, thank you for your interest.
