This bust is the predecessor of the tealight holder. Back then I already had plans to make a statue in ceramic parts, approximately 2 meters tall. Original plan (never executed) was to put the parts in a composition of boards. Each board would carry a "storey" of the statue. Top storey would be the head, next one the shoulders, then upper arms and chest, and so on. Instead a statue of the intended size was built with strut and turned out to be a tealight holder.
Since the original neck and shoulders fell into pieces in the kiln,
new and matching shoulders were made. Hence the three parts.
The making off: here the head still has its first neck.
Shoulders were far smaller than they are now.
I think they have improved.
