According to the BBC, on April 14, the 230-year-old statue of the river goddess of Roman civilization was heavily graffitied and scribbled with ink.
According to authorities, the National Trust was shocked and outraged by the vandalism,
A statue of the goddess Sabrina has been vandalized with blue wax paint. Vandals painted graffiti on the statue's face, arms, and body.
According to the Birmingham Mail, many people said the drawings did not appear to be the work of adults or teenagers. They think they are like the naughty kids who painted them. At present, the "culprit" has not been found.
Not only was the statue of the goddess Sabrina painted in crayons, but also on April 8, a monument to architect Capability Brown was vandalized in the same manner.
After that, the National Trust immediately worked with experts to clean the Sabrina statue and memorial. As we all know, the process of cleaning crayon stains can be more difficult and time-consuming.
The statue of Sabrina is known to have been carved from cod stone by sculptor John Bacon. It is a ceramic made from a mix of clay, pottery, silicate, and glass.
The statue is estimated to have been built in the mid-1780s or in 1802. The statue depicts the Nead, the goddess of water in Greek mythology. The name "Sabrina" is named after the fairy of the River Severn in England.
