BBC NewsThere has been speculation a new piece of art that has appeared on a wall in Nottingham is by world famous street artist Banksy.
The creation, on Ilkeston Road, shows a girl hula-hooping next to a bike with a missing wheel.
The piece has a similar style to previous Banksy works.
The elusive artist has not made any reference to the work on his Instagram account.
In July, a Banksy artwork encouraging people to wear face masks appeared on a Tube train in London.
And last month, Art Attack presenter Neil Buchanan dismissed rumours Banksy was his secret alias.

BBC Radio DerbyA controversial waste treatment plant in Derby, which was given the go-ahead in 2012 but has not been operational, has cost taxpayers 8.2m in the 2019-20 financial year.
Derbyshire County Council said the costs covered the removal of waste and deep-cleaning of the site, as well as work to assess its condition.
Construction at the facility, on Sinfin Lane, began two years later despite campaigners' concerns on air quality and an increase in lorry traffic.
The city and county councils said they took over the plant last August after there was a delay in opening in 2017.
Now, the authorities say they do not know when it will be fully operational, as they await the results from site surveys.
Image source, Alan ThomasThe plant aims to divert 190,000 tonnes of waste per year away from landfill by heat-treating waste to produce a gas which is then burned to create enough electricity to power 14,000 homes.
