<p>[QUOTE="aaroncab, post: 315296, member: 3974"]I think this bust was made by Dora De Pedery Hunt - the signature matches - and I've found some pictures online of her crafting similar small busts - for example here:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://magazine.utoronto.ca/time-capsule/dora-de-pederyhunt-clay-sculpture/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://magazine.utoronto.ca/time-capsule/dora-de-pederyhunt-clay-sculpture/" rel="nofollow">http://magazine.utoronto.ca/time-capsule/dora-de-pederyhunt-clay-sculpture/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Dora was a Hungarian-Canadian who did a lot of medals/coins </p><p>and relief work but also did busts and other sculptures. </p><p><br /></p><p>So assuming this is her work - does anyone recognize the subject?
