A human bust statue is a sculpture that depicts the upper body of a person, typically including the head, neck, and shoulders. Busts can be made of a variety of materials, including clay, marble, bronze, and other metals. Historically, busts were used to honor important people such as philosophers, rulers, and religious figures. Today, busts are often used to decorate homes, offices, and public spaces. They may also be used as a memorial for a loved one or used as a decorative element in a garden or other outdoor space.
