This highly collectible piece of Americana was manufactured by the renowned Devereux Industries, celebrated for high-quality metal giftware and historical replicas.

What elevates this specific piece above standard souvenir ware is its impeccable artistic pedigree. The original master mold was meticulously hand-sculpted by the world-renowned, award-winning contemporary artist Amy Kann in collaboration with master sculptor C.A. Stigliano early in their careers.

Cast in a heavy, solid pewter-toned metal alloy, the miniature sculpture features an incredibly expressive, tactile surface. The artists brilliantly captured Adams’ distinct 18th-century high-curled coiffure, ruffled collar, and commanding, intelligent gaze. The front banner features her name, "Abigail Adams", rendered in a beautifully raised, elegant cursive script. It boasts a gorgeous, authentic aged patina with muted gray tones and subtle metallic highlights that perfectly complement traditional, neoclassical, or eclectic modern interiors. See less
