Questions & Answers
Caesar isn't a skeptic. The eyes on this bust appear to be looking up rather than straight ahead. This bust has been in my possession for a number of years, and I think it's quite nice.
It appears to be life-sized (though I have no idea how big Caesar was). The head and neck are about the same size as an average adult's, and the shoulders are not as wide, but still proportionate. But, in the end, I'd say it's life size.
Because this bust is a little smaller than life size, we believe a VR headset would fit (it would be like putting it on a child's head), but it may not be stable due to the bust's 4 pound weight and the headset's front-heavy effect. So make the best decision you can.
Caesar Augustus is depicted here in the form of a bust. We also have a larger bust of Julius Caesar with a gold breastplate for sale.
Selected User Reviews For Design Toscano AH250835 Augustus Caesar Primaporta Bust Statue, 18 Inch, Antique Stone
We, the living, are drawn to antiquity for a variety of reasons. about knowing that we, too, will follow in the footsteps of the millions upon millions of people who have gone before us. There have been a select few who have come, fought the good fight, and left a lasting memory of something that we can learn about them; of them. This bust is an eloquent reminder of a time in history when 'Man' clung to civilization only to see it fall apart, ushering in the terrible Dark Ages, which were marked by the absence of 'Men' of wisdom and character for nearly 1,000 years, and for whom the original of this bust was commemorated more than 2,500 years ago. I'm glad I made the mature decision to part with the shekels in order to fulfill an "every man's" desire to own such a convincing semblance of a "historical work of art" as this bust represents. The pedestal I bought to put it on cost more than twice as much as the bust, demonstrating the wealth, quality, and hard work that the (original) artisans put into creating such a beautiful work of art.
Definitely a good investment. I believe you get a lot of bust for your money, and the facial and armor details are far superior to what I expected. This is well-made, especially when compared to the junk that's out there. This was a gift, but I'm going to order another for myself. My only gripe, which isn't really a gripe, is that I wish they did more historical figures so I could buy more.
A fantastic piece for display! This isn't for everyone, but it's something I've always wanted and finally decided now was the time; for the money, it's a great deal. Hopefully, the company will continue to produce historical pieces in the future.
It's well made and sturdy, and a good size--I put a standard-sized coffee cup next to it in the picture for reference--I was expecting much cheaper based on the cost. I'll definitely purchase a pedestal for it. It has a very refined appearance.
The item arrived in excellent condition, and they may have gone overboard with the packaging, but I suppose it's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to delivery handling. It's a fantastic bust. It's heavy enough to keep its footing on any surface. I didn't expect it to be quite as big as it was. It's amazing how much detail there is.
The eyes were the only part I didn't like. Caesar appeared to be "not all there" due to the design. " That was my solution. I used Apoxie Sculpt, which I purchased on Amazon, to fill in the eyes. It now appears to be a classic sculpture.
The money was well spent!.
