Henry Moore's Stolen Sundial Recovered

Henry Moore's Sundial worth £500,000 which was stolen last week from The Henry Moore Foundation in Hertfordshire (see post below) has been recovered.

The bronze sculpture was found after an appeal on Crimewatch last Thursday.  Three men from Essex have since been arrested on suspicion of theft.  The Foundation are hopeful that the recovery of this piece might result in a similar recovery of Moore's Reclining Figure which was stolen in 2005. Police, however, believe the two-tonne sculpture was melted down and sold as scrap.
