Oval wooden wall plaque featuring a raised composite metal bust of Abraham Lincoln in profile. This mid-20th-century commemorative wall piece reflects the enduring popularity of Abraham Lincoln imagery in American households, schools, and civic institutions. The bust, cast in a composite metal with a bronze-tone finish, is mounted on a simple stained wood backboard with a top hanging hole for display. Such plaques were often produced as affordable patriotic décor, bridging the line between educational tribute and decorative art.
Surface shows minor scuffs, oxidation to the metal, and light wear to the wooden mount consistent with age.
6.5" W x 10.5" H
