The statue of Sabrina, a Roman water nymph, has been on display in Britain since the 1800s.
The mythological story of Sabrina was written in the 12th century, and the statue has been a popular attraction for visitors.
However, this month, the ceramic statue was defaced when an unidentified artist scribbled blue crayon across the body, face, and eyes of the sculpture.
The incident reportedly occurred after an Easter event at historic Croome Court, where children visiting the mansion and its gardens were given a pack of crayons to use.
Commentary:
It is unfortunate that the Sabrina statue was defaced with blue crayon.

It is important to respect and preserve these historical artifacts for future generations to enjoy.
Defacing cultural treasures is not only disrespectful but can also cause permanent damage to the artwork.
It is essential to educate people on the importance of cultural preservation and to encourage respect for public artwork.
By promoting a greater understanding of cultural heritage, we can help ensure that these important artifacts are preserved for future generations.
