Buyer's premium:

This lot comprises two cast metal items: a half-bust depicting Leonid Brezhnev and a decorative bowl. The bust, rendered in a realistic, commemorative style, portrays a male figure in a military or political uniform adorned with numerous medals and insignia. It exhibits a worn gold-tone finish with areas of heavy dark patination and significant blue-green verdigris, particularly around the base. The accompanying small, tapered bowl or cup features a textured, relief-decorated exterior with symbolic crests. Both objects appear to be of 20th-century Soviet or Eastern European origin, consistent with the uniform details on the bust. No discernable text or specific identifying marks are visible on either item.
Tallest: 5 inches
