Stowe House, carved panel
This carved panel depicting Alexander the Great is set into the wall of the North Hall. It really shouldn't be here - when the Temple Grenville family had to sell off their house contents to meet overwhelming debts, this piece was purchased. But the purchaser could not figure how to remove it from the wall without destroying it, so here it stays.
