bronze busts
Cast copper-alloy heads
Bronze busts are sculptural portraits cast in bronze, depicting a person's head, neck, and usually shoulders.
They serve as commemorative tributes to notable figures—politicians, writers, military leaders—and commonly appear in parks, government buildings, and museums.
The university unveiled bronze busts of its founding donors.
The material's durability makes them permanent monuments.
