It seems that yet another Banksy masterpiece has been carelessly buffed. This time the price tag is much higher: £300,000!!

Workmen in London have painted over a 300,000 pound piece by world-renowned graffiti artist Banksy, reports said on Friday.

Although Banksy’s canvases are snapped up by celebrities such as Angelina Jolie for thousands of pounds, his stencilled graffiti creations can be found on walls and billboards around the capital.

Now one of these, a picture of John Travolta and Samuel L Jackson’s characters from the 1994 film “Pulp Fiction” holding bananas instead of guns, has been painted over by a graffiti removal team, the Daily Telegraph said.

Locals are furious that the 10-year-old artwork, which is believed to be one of Banksy’s earliest free-painted murals, has been lost.

Bristol City Council, which has ordered all Banksy work to be preserved, has launched an investigation.
