Answer 1

A. On the bust of the Pallas

Answer 2

The raven perches itself on the bust of Pallas

It is said in this excerpt of the poem:

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,

In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore;

Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;

But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door—

Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door

— Perched, and sat, and nothing more.
