A Texas collector found an authentic Roman bust that has been missing from Germany since World War II at a Goodwill.
Laura Young purchased the bust for $35 in 2018, but it was once among the collection of King Ludwig I of Bavaria. It is still unknown how it arrived in Texas.The Bavarian Administration of State-Owned Palaces, Gardens, and Lakes authenticated the bust to be from the courtyard of the Pompejanum, which was the Aschaffenburg, Germany, king's full-scale replica of a villa from Pompeii, dating from the late 1st century B.C. to the early 1st century A.D.
Meanwhile, Young called the discovery"bittersweet since I knew I couldn’t keep or sell the [bust]. Either way, I’m glad I got to be a small part of [its] long and complicated history, and he looked great in the house while I had him."CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER Visitors to the San Antonio Museum of Art can see the bust until 2023, when it will be returned to Germany.
