1800 year old Elvis statue?
With his dashing chiselled features, swept back hair and perky bouffant the resemblance is unmistakable.
But incredibly this carving of Elvis Presley was created around 1800 years before the King of Rock and Roll first warbled his first note.
The amazing likeness has come to light as part of a sale of ancient antiques by the auction house Bonhams.
The ‘Elvis’ sculpture is 2nd Century AD and is estimated to make £25,000 to £30,000.
