So, for the last ten years, somebody has been using a slab of marble as a mounting block.
Until she noticed that it had a laurel wreath carved on it.
This woman had, for ten years, been using a second century Roman engraving probably made in Greece, that appears to have been celebrating Demetrios son of Metrodorus, probably for his athletic achievement, as a mounting block.
Go figure.
Needless to say she's now selling it at auction...and presumably buying a new mounting block.
Because these things happen in England.
