In this artwork, how is the Description discussed?
The bust is of bronze with a wax patina, cast with the lost-wax method. It depicts Governor Schricker staring ahead and wearing a shirt, tie, vest, and jacket with a large rock formation behind him. At the bottom of the bust on the proper left side is a maker's mark that reads "Rubins 64." The bust is hollow and appears to be cast of a single piece.
The bust sits upon a roughly cubical limestone base fronted with a bronze plaque that identifies Henry F. Schricker as the thirty-fourth and thirty-eighth governor of Indiana and supplies the dates of his governorships. The entire work is held in place by a pair of threaded rods that run up into the base and down into the bottom of the alcove.
The bust weighs 1,200 pounds.
