Museum staff were left dismayed after a historic statue was scribbled on.
Bright blue crayon markings were scrawled across the face, arms and torso of the 230-year-old Sabrina statue at Croome, Worcester.
A memorial to landscape architect Capability Brown was also defaced sometime during 8 April, the National Trust said.
The markings have been removed from the statue but work to clean the memorial is ongoing.
Carved from Coade stone, the sculpture is thought to have been made in 1802 and depicts the Roman Naiade, Sabrina, in a grotto which was originally decorated with shells, coral and gems.
Wow, what idiot did this
? I'm sure it'll be possible to restore - but it'll take time and effort away from other restoration and conservation projects.
I just hope whoever was responsible can be found, and held accountable for what they've done.
