<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 192427, member: 37"]What I thought was a mold line is the crease in the top of the head. I can see now in the new picture that it is not. New pics make me think this could be hydrocal. It is a plaster-like material that is harder and shows details better than plaster. It takes color unevenly like this with penetrating stains after it has been molded. Definitely pretty modern (Last quarter of 20th century or later) if it is hydrocal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
