This statue project was designed and produced in bust format upon special order. The Aşık Murat Cobanoglu bust was ordered as a collection together with bust statues of seven different folk poets. Therefore, all statues being in the same format is necessary for aesthetic integrity. The bust format allows focus on facial features and upper body details and offers a more compact arrangement in the display area. However, if requested, a full-length statue of Aşık Murat Cobanoglu with his saz can also be produced separately. Both formats offer different advantages.
