Rogue Angel 46: Treasure of Lima
“In all her years of exploring ancient cultures and lost civilizations, she didn’t think she’d ever seen a more incongruous sight.

The top half of the ...statue had been cleared of vines and other overgrowth—recently, too, judging from the looks of it. The lower half, Annja saw, was still mainly obscured behind the foliage.

Still, it was an incredible piece of artwork and one that would fetch quite a hefty sum in any museum in the world.MoreLess
