Priceless ancient Roman bust sold for $34.99 at a Texas Goodwill

Keeping in mind these are not the same Germans from the 1930s/40s. It can be easy to forget that. Unless it is a looted piece, I would hope modern Germany would work towards its return. That’s what best for the art world.

ETA: from a linked article, “It was listed as a portrait bust of a man named Drusus Germanicus.” Likely locally sourced, not looted.

ETA again. Not. Not not not not not not not the same Germans. FFS. So, so sorry. Yeesh
