Minecraft - Furniture/Detail: Bust Statues

If you don't know what a bust is (I didn't know the obscure word, either), it's a statue with only the head and shoulders. For example, this is a bust:

While playing with potential mailbox designs, I inadvertently stumbled upon the idea of a bust in Minecraft. I thought an anvil would make a nice stand for a mailbox since it's made out of iron. When I happened to place the anvil sideways, it became something else.

 A Steve or creeper bust may not be available in survival, but a dropper + wig or wither bust is.

Some servers have a plugin that allows you to obtain custom player faces. I think there's also a way to do it in MC Edit. With that, you can make busts of your friends and family!

Finally, here's a bust similar to the first one, but with a powdered wig/marble composition, depending on how you interpret it. If you're making a Classical adventure map or looking to fill your museum with artifacts, a bust would constitute a splendid candidate!
