Description

An abstract bronze sculptured head of Henry Moore.
This is an enormous abstract sculpture of a detached head of the English sculptor Henry Moore. The sculpture at six metres high and weighing six tonnes is one of the largest public art works in Australia.
It was done by Henry Moore's protégé Drago Marin Cherina.
The sculpture was donated to the town of Yeoval by the Waterhouse family.
It took three years for Yeoval businessman Alf Cantrell, to organise and transport the sculpture from its original home in the Hunter Valley to Yeoval - where it now stands proudly in the Banjo Paterson Bush Park.
