Archeologists in Greece have uncovered a rare wooden statue preserved in the muddy depths of an ancient well in Piraeus, the port of Athens.

The piece was found during an excavation of ancient wells in central Piraeus, where a new subway line will be built.

Ancient wooden artefacts are uncommon discoveries in Greece as climate conditions do not favor their preservation.

We've twigged that one; so do we leaf it there or branch out with some more? I'm sure someone will root out some more, or are we bark-ing?
