苏联（俄罗斯） - 罕见的原装苏联列宁铸铁半身像 – G. P. Panov 模型 – Kusa Art Foundry – - 军用配件

Original Soviet cast-iron bust of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, attributed to the well-documented model by Soviet sculptor G. P. Panov, created in 1970 and associated with production at the Kusa artistic iron foundry in the Urals, USSR. Weight of about 2 kg

height - 14 cm
Weight - approx. 2 kg


This is a substantial piece of Soviet artistic iron casting. The bust is made from heavy cast iron, with a hollow interior, thick walls and a dark black surface finish typical of decorative Ural cast-iron sculpture. Despite its compact size, the piece weighs approximately 2 kg, giving it a distinctly solid and monumental presence.

The model is documented in specialist catalogues of Russian artistic cast iron as a Lenin bust created by G. P. Panov in 1970 and produced at the Kusa factory during the second half of the 1970s. The catalogued version is recorded as article СЧЛ-46, with an original Soviet catalogue price of 10 rubles.

The present example corresponds closely to the documented Kusa type in its facial modelling, formal clothing, hollow cast construction and base configuration.

Lenin is represented in a formal jacket with a high collar, with strongly modelled facial features, pronounced brows, moustache and pointed beard. The compact proportions and heavy casting give the bust a particularly architectural and monumental appearance.

The underside is open, clearly showing the original hollow casting. Two original mounting holes are present in the lower rim, indicating that the bust could originally be fixed to a separate pedestal or display base. Cast markings are also visible along the lower edge.

The sculpture measures approximately 14 cm in height and weighs approximately 2 kg.

Comparable Kusa examples of this model are known from the 1970s, including documented cast-iron versions from the mid-to-late 1970s, supporting the attribution of this type to Soviet Kusa production of that period.

The dark finish shows authentic signs of age and use, including minor scratches, rubbing, small areas of surface wear and casting irregularities. These are consistent with the age and material of the piece and contribute to its genuine historical character.

This is an attractive and substantial example of Soviet Ural artistic cast iron, suitable for collectors of USSR memorabilia, Soviet sculpture, Cold War-era objects, Lenin iconography and Russian decorative iron casting.
