Stands 10 ½" tall, the size of the plinth is approx. 4 ¼" x 4", weighs well over 3.5 lbs. In Silumin alloy, cast from the 1973 model by sculptor Albert Charkin (Альберт Серафимович Чаркин, 1937 - 2017), one of the most prominent practitioners of Soviet monumental sculpture, creator of a large number of busts of state, party and military leaders, scientists, writers, composers, artists, etc.
In excellent condition. There are no significant scuffs, scratches, or nicks anywhere on the surface. Light tarnish in the recessed areas accents the high points by increasing the "shadow effect" in those areas.
The statuette represented the Party's Cold War Era effort to cast the Great Leader as a grandfather type, concerned for the well-being of children everywhere. It was probably intended for display in school libraries and classrooms as well as club rooms where young children might gather for afterschool activities.
