Molded signature at the back: Leon Fighiera, an artist who was at the Esther Hunt Era in the California/Chinese bust art. Leon Fighiera was born in Italy in year 1881.Leon Fighiera was an Italian artist who immigrated to California with his American wife. His chalkware busts date from 1923 to 1930. (Unlike Esther Hunt\'s protégé, Joe Celona - whose work was very limited and largely derivative - Fighiera rivaled Hunt for work that was both conceptually advanced and meticulously produced.) By 1912, he had a studio in California. Leon died in 1938. This statue or bust was made sometime between 1922 when the artist moved from Los Angeles, Calif. to San Francisco, California and 1938, the year of his death. Leon Fighiera used the Chinese children in S.F. as his inspiration in the making of his busts. This is an old chalkware bust by Fighiera with an unusual color, may be it was unpainted or made as a model, the actual color is weathered dark greenish-brown color. Bust is solid, sturdy and approximately 3.5 lbs.
