A San Francisco couple unearthed a mysterious 150-pound limestone sculpture buried in their backyard β and three months later, they're not sure how it got there.
The statue, found at a Russian Hill home near the former San Francisco Art Institute, may be linked to WPA-era sculptor Ralph Stackpole or one of his students.
The couple plans to put the piece on public display in September, hoping someone will recognize it.
