35cm x 32cm x 32cm
 
Wall hanging cast in Jesmonite.
 
Jesmonite is a far superior material to the standard plaster cast hence the slightly higher price.
It is lightweight and incredibly strong making this a perfect learning cast as it will withstand heavy handling and measuring from over and over again.
Casts are pigmented pure white and can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth without damaging the cast.
