Poetic Artist Made Large Painted Papier Mache Face Romany Spartan Art Pottery though I’ve not see another

though I’ve not see another with cross bar at the top rather than towel bar at the the bottom

and this finely rendered

and a wonderfully primitive one at that

The crown has a super patina

Poetic Artist Made Large Painted Papier Mache Face Romany Spartan Art Pottery though I’ve not see anotherI found this at Brimfield and know it came out of an artists' estate, but I am not sure the name of the artist. Such a wonderfully expressive face, I'd be inclined to give a name to this guy and talk to him like friend (or therapist!) C. 1960s 70s I believe, painted papier mache, strung for hanging. 13" x 8 5 8" and in good condition, with a couple of small dings as documented.
