A fantastic, large and wonderfully charismatic hand crafted wooden sculpture of Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe, by British artist Martin Miller. This is such a show-stopping piece, large and imposing with wonderful 3D elements like her pouty lips, legendary mole and dramatic eyelashes. This piece was originally part of a 'Hero Heads' series of Hollywood icons but Miller agreed to sell it individually, after much interest from a collector. He went on to sculpt a different icon to take her place in the triptych. Guaranteed to grab the attention of anyone that lays eyes on her, a true icon. C.1980's. Weight: Over 29lbs.
