A Roman marble bust heading to auction could have ties to disgraced dealer Robin Symes, an antiquities expert says:

Tsirogiannis is head of the working group Illicit Antiquities Trafficking and, in this capacity, has special access to archival material from police raids in order to help track down looted treasures. It was first recorded on the market in 1981, when it was sold at Sotheby’s New York for $4,840. The auction house has never revealed the name of the consignor despite requests from Tsirogiannis. According to the Hindman Auctions provenance, it then moved between collections in the U.S. before Christie’s New York sold it in 2012.
