An undated handout image released by the British Museum of a headless sculpture of the river god Ilissos. The British Museum has loaned the sculpture, one of the Elgin Marbles, to the Hermitage Museum in Russia, the first time one of the Parthenon sculptures has been lent. The trustees said Friday the marble sculpture of the river god Ilissos —a reclining male figure from the West Pediment of the Parthenon, will be part of a major exhibition on Greek art. The Hermitage is marking its 250th anniversary. (AP Photo/British Museum)
