Blimey :shock: guess that (marble) explains the crisp condition. I think there was a John Adams-Acton in the arboretum in Derby, a few years ago. Very nice. Why' she have to go?

SOLD!

She had to go because of her value, the specialist auction is in July in London, meanwhile it's getting a full page photo and viewings.

ARTHUR: The Lady of the Lake,...
[angels sing]
...her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from
the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was
to carry Excalibur.
[singing stops]
That is why I am your king!
DENNIS: Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis
for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate
from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
