Back in 2018, Laura Young went to an Austin, Texas, Goodwill store and picked up a small bust that cost $34.99. Little did she know it was an ancient artifact that historians believe Allied soldiers took in Germany during World War II.
“I got it outside in the light,” Young said, reflecting on when she first purchased the statue. “He had chips to the base. He had clear repairs. He looks old. I’ve been to museums. I’ve seen Roman portrait heads before.”
