A marble statue of a woman, believed to be more than 2,000 years old, was discovered abandoned in a garbage bag near the Greek city of Thessaloniki, as reported by the police on Wednesday.
The 80-centimeter (31-inch) headless statue was found by a resident beside a trash bin in Neoi Epivates, located outside Greece's second-largest city. The man who found it promptly handed it over to local authorities, who then contacted archaeologists to evaluate its historical significance.
