HIS EXCELLENCY GEORGE WASHINGTON

His Excellency is a one-of-a-kind artistic creation, hand sculpted and costumed over a wire armatured figure. Gen. Washington's face, hands and boots are sculpted of paper clay that's been painted with fine acrylics and sealed. His costume (shirt, fall-front breeches, waistcoat, coat and cloak) are fashioned from actual patterns of the period. His riding boots are topped with real leather flaps. His cotton shirt is trimmed with antique french lace. His suit is black taffeta. His cloak is blue and black cashmere and wool. His tricorn is silk and felt over a buckram frame. The figure of Washington stands about 18 inches tall and includes a hand-made signed base.

$300, plus shipping.
