Description

A bust of Burr in character, it is marked "SPECIAL 4-73" on the back and was pictured on the cover of Burr's estate sale catalog when sold at Butterfields. The multi Emmy nominated show was a project close to Burr's heart, as he had met the Pope during his lifetime. The story tells of the Pope, before he ascended the Papacy, saving Jews from the Nazis during WWII.
