You are bidding on a rare 1964 Bosson's Uriah Heep chalkware wall mask that is in Mint condition. From the 'Dickens Collection' Produced from 1964 to 1988 . Sculpted by Fred Wright. From David Copperfield, Uriah Heep, wonderfully hideous, is one of Dickens' greatest triumphs in character creation. His description of Heep's writhing and scheming, and his cold, clammy nature, makes one's skin crawl. A hypocritical clerk of Mr. Wickfield's who is continually citing his humbleness (" 'Umble, most 'umble"). He deviously plots to ruin Wickfield but is later undone by Mr. Micawber. On their first meeting, David descibes him as "a red-haired person - a youth of fifteen, as I take it now, but looking much older - whose hair was cropped as close as the closest stubble; who had hardly any eyebrows, and no eyelashes, and eyes of a red-brown, so unsheltered and unshaded, that I remember wondering how he went to sleep. He was high-shouldered and bony; dressed in decent black, with a white wisp of a neckcloth; buttoned up to the throat; and had a long, lank, skeleton hand, which particularly attracted my attention, as he stood at the pony's head, rubbing his chin with it, and looking up at us in the chaise. He had a way of writhing when he wanted to express enthusiasm, which was very ugly" ***************************************************** read more
