Rare Vintage Sinanthropus (Peking Man) Plaster Bust

This one-of-a-kind vintage plaster bust represents Sinanthropus pekinensis (now classified as Homo erectus pekinensis), an early human species that lived during the Middle Pleistocene. A striking and academically significant piece, this sculpture was produced in Bulgaria and originally used for educational purposes in a university setting.

Beautifully modeled in plaster, the bust features fine anatomical details and bears the Cyrillic engraving "СИНАНТРОП" ("Sinanthropus") on the front — a testament to its Eastern European origin and scientific heritage.

Whether you're a collector of anthropological artifacts, a professor, or a fan of early human history, this bust is a thoughtful and uncommon decorative piece — ideal for offices, libraries, or study spaces with a love for science, history, and vintage academia.
