Child Heads-Busts (Page under construction)
Above or below the shoulders?
Over the years Cybis produced two types of busts depicting children. The first busts released were boy and girl sets of children's heads. These included the neck but nothing below the shoulders. While these were marketed as sets, they were sold separately. In 1963, Head of Boy and Head of Girl were released followed by Baby Boy Head and Baby Girl Head in 1967. The first bust (actually a partial figure) to include shoulders, arms and hands was the Baby Bust introduced in 1968.
Companion pieces
Subsequent releases were not companion boy/girl sets, but rather sculptures depicting a single child with no companion. However, for most of these single release sculptures, companion pieces were eventually released. This held true only for the busts of the child heads. The partial figure busts (from the waist up) never had companions introduced.
Attached bases
Also, it is important to note that ALL child heads designed with bases were shipped from the studio attached to the base. Two heads were designed and produced without a base. The Native American-Indian children heads were designed and sold without bases. ALL other child head busts had a wooden base. If an item is found with no base (other than the Indian child heads) it is not considered to be in original condition as sold when new. Bases can be removed and are often found lose-but still attached. A lose base can be tightened, but care should be taken not to scratch the surface by allowing the head to rotate on the base. All bases used in production prior to the late 1980's were wooden. Other materials were used to produce bases during the 1990's and later.
