A resin cast of an original terracotta bust depicting a middle-aged man wearing a wig. The bust of Edward Colston was installed in 1981. The cast of the original terracotta bust, from which the fibreglass resin copy was to be taken, was made before the small cracks and damage to the terracotta were filled. The replica has been painted over several times.
