Antonio Canova's bust of Helen of Troy will be auctioned by Christie's on July 6:
https://www.christies.com/features/antonio-canovas-bust-of-helen-12825-3.aspx?sc_lang=en&cid=EM_EMLcontent04144C56Section_A_Story_1_1&COSID=42262626&cid=DM494270&bid=358861511#fid-12825

George, Lord Byron, was impressed by the sculpture and wrote a poem about it:

"On the Bust of Helen by Canova" (1816)

"In this beloved marble view,
Above the works and thoughts of man,
What Nature could but would not do,
And Beauty and Canova can!
Beyond imagination’s power,
Beyond the Bard’s defeated art,
With immortality her dower,
Behold the Helen of the heart."

Maybe she needs to have some makeup on and an updated hair style. You can acquire the bust for between £2,500,000 - £4,000,000. ($3,179,650 - $5,087,440)

Ooh, tactile artwork, perfect for Ash, although I prefer Minerva-- I need to go hit up Fort Knox
