This bust is styled after the pseudo-Seneca and is made of bronze (magnet does NOT stick). In searching for this item on the internet, I could only find one similar and it was described as a 19th Century Grand Tour sculpture but it was twice as tall. Possibly from Italy but there are no markings. Bust is approx. 4 3/8" tall. Weighs 1 lb. 7 ounces.
There are some imperfections (ALL PICTURED) - dusty/patinaed in some spots (I do not know how to clean bronze so I will leave that to it's proud new owner) - rubbing to raised relief, small rusting. I am not an expert on such items so if you know more than I, please feel free to message me and correct me. I am giving you all the information I have at this time.
Please see pics - what you see is what you get -- I do not re-touch my photos or photo-shop them to make them look better or hide flaws.
