Wrong. This carving of Elvis was created around 1800 years ago, and is in fact a genuine marble acroterion, an architectural ornament that would have been found decorating the corners of a sarcophagus, a stone tomb or burial chamber in the 2nd century AD.
It is part of a collection owned by Graham Geddes in Melbourne, and is estimated to be worth about $60,000. It goes on sale at auction in October.
