In technical jargon we talk about "bust" to mean a representation, in the form of a sculpture, of the upper part of a human figure, which reproduces only the head and neck and, in some cases, also the chest and shoulders, but without arms. When the upper part of the chest is also included, the statue is also called "half-bust".
