Authorities have seized an allegedly looted headless statue, believed to depict Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, from a museum in Cleveland, Ohio.
The bronze art was taken earlier this month by New York investigators who are probing claims that it was looted in the 1960s from Bubon, southern Turkey.
The 76-inch (1.9-meter) statue is about 1,800 years old and valued at around $20m (£16m), officials say.
Authorities have not yet said how the sculpture arrived in Ohio.
