Found hiding in the over grown bushes on little ornament that is 30 plus years old.
Before the repaint
And after.

Peter,
you realise, of course that you have wiped thousands of poundsworth' of value off a very rare Roman artifact? Dedicated to the God Cattus Calceus dating from around 250CE. ( Or of course, Woolies in the late 70's! ).
Does that mean you haven't done any gardening since the last century? :tongue-out2:

I must admit that until I looked at the painted version I had no idea what the sculpture was?
