Around 1860, a local businessman and future lieutenant governor gave Amherst a statue of Sabrina, the mythical goddess-nymph of the Severn river in England. It was a copy of Scottish sculptor William Calder Marshall’s 1847 original, a sc****ly clad, dreamily sitting figure.

Since Amherst acquired the Sabrina statue, she has been stolen, lifted by helicopter, painted, buried, and decapitated. A close look at these stories reveal a complicated history.
