A rare vintage museum display mannequin head, dating from around the 1960s–1980s. This life-size figure was originally used in a museum or educational exhibit.

The head is constructed with a moulded plastic inner shell and a hand-painted plaster exterior, giving it a realistic texture and expression. The combination of materials was commonly used in mid-20th-century museum figures for lifelike appearance and durability.

It features painted eyes, synthetic hair and brows, and an expressive, slightly sorrowful face typical of period museum craftsmanship. The paint has aged beautifully, showing fine surface cracking and wear that adds to its authenticity and vintage charm.

Condition:

• Cracking and flaking to the plaster surface from age

• Hair and eyebrows remain well attached

• Hollow plastic interior (no fittings or mechanisms)

• Structurally solid and stable

• Ideal for display or sympathetic restoration

A unique, one-of-a-kind piece perfect for collectors of vintage mannequins, museum artefacts, theatrical props, or unusual interior decor.
