Victorian match-holder repair

Another not-a-doll.
My mother has an extensive antiques collection and occasionally has a mishap. This time she stumbled in the dark and knocked a Victorian plaster match-holder off the wall.

This dude had a bad nose fracture and only half of his nose pieces were found. Plus his pipe had been knocked off.

He needed to be pieced back together, have his missing piece of nose reconstructed and all the repairs painted to match the original surface.












Done :-)
