Discover an ancient coffin in the bush

The rare Roman marble coffin and elaborate carvings found in the bush behind the garden in Dorest, the United States costs more than £ 50,000.

Antique expert Guy Schwinge discovered the corner of a 1900-year-old marble coffin hidden in a bush when he visited the garden behind Dukein's auction house in Dorchester, Dorset, USA.

The 7-foot coffin was made in Italy, for a senior contemporary of Emperor Hadrian.

The sarcophagus is carved beautifully with the image of the gate opening in the middle and the two sides are the laurel leaves attached to the strip of tape.

This valuable coffin is part of a large personal collection of Sir John Robinson, one of the best art experts of the 19th century from Newton Manor, Swanage, Dorset.

John Robinson is the first director of the South Kensington Museum, the Victoria and Albert museum known today. He was also appointed as an advisor in charge of managing Victoria Victoria's paintings and was primarily responsible for building the museum of ancient art and revival at the museum.

One possibility is that this coffin was bought by Robinson during his trip to Italy.

In addition, after searching for everything around him, Guy Schwinge accidentally discovered a more valuable treasure inside the house that was the Duke's auction house auction catalog and it showed that this marble coffin was sold in 1913. Mr. Schwinge said he discovered the coffin in a well-preserved state.

Art expert Laurence Keen OBE said: 'This is a very important item. In my opinion, it was produced in the second or third century AD with the highest quality '.

However, scientists have not yet been able to determine exactly when it was brought to the UK from where and where it was last sold 100 years ago.
