    This is a very high quality piece, and also one of the less common portrayals showing Lenin wearing his trademark visor cap (Lenin is more often shown wearing it in full standing statuettes but rarely busts).
    No chips or scuffs to the glaze.
    Note: shipping is a bit higher due to size and the fragile nature of porcelain
