While assessing the contents of a country house in the south of England, Bentley’s auctioneer Nick Hall discovered what he believes to be a Roman carved stone bust buried amongthe undergrowth in the ground.
A family member has a vague recollection of the late home owner buying it many moons ago at a country house sale and the family are now trying to verify the provenance in advance of its sale in Cranbrook, Kent on November 2.
