    Looks like a piece of the columns at the Parthenon in Athens - the site of the Acroplolis - so could it be some of the Elgin Marbes from the British Museum!
    Pentelic Marble perhaps!

    The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it!!
