“The Bavarian government agreed to cover all costs accrued in transporting the artifact to Germany...”
But did they pay Laura Young the $34.99?

If it isn’t bouncy then it is an overpriced bust.

One mystery of looted WWII art which intrigues me is what happened to The Amber Room, looted from St. Petersburg. The Nazis hauled it off, possibly to Königsberg. Was it destroyed in bombing? Hidden in a cave? Sunk into a lake? Inquiring minds want to know.

what happened to The Amber Room
I'm not sure, but I think President Trump would like to replicate it in the White House during his second term.

U.S. state law does not recognize the transfer of title of stolen property. I say finders keepers, the bust was legally purchased and Good Will. Keep your hands off my stuff and stay off my lawn.

Drusus Germanicus was the younger brother of Emperor Tiberius and the father of Caligula. He was a noble Claudian, we’re told.

One mystery of looted WWII art which intrigues me is what happened to The Amber Room, looted from St. Petersburg. I think that it was loaded aboard the "Wilhelm Gustloff" in the evacuation of Konigsberg and went down with that ship, and over an estimated 9000 people, when it was torpedoed by a Russian sub ..
