Sculptural Head from the Original Ziegfeld Theatre on the Upper East Side, Sept. 2006

Sculptural Head from the Original Ziegfeld Theatre on the Upper East Side, Sept. 2006
This sculpture can be found in the "front yard" of a brownstone on 80th Street between Madison and Park Avenues. I encountered it on my way to the subway from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I'm not sure whom it represents, but it seems almost Art Deco to me.

And apparently, it comes from the original Ziegfeld Theatre, which was built in 1927:
A fragment of the Joseph Urban facade, a female head, can be seen in front of the private home at 52 E. 80th Street. refer to: www.answers.com/topic/ziegfeld-theatre
