It seems to show a young girl firing a slingshot of flowers – possibly in relation to February 14th.

The mysterious artist has yet to claim ownership – although the piece bears all of his hallmarks.

The Bristol Somali Community Association posted photos of the artwork on Twitter.

They said: “Today in Barton Hill, we woke up with this remarkable mural art painted on one of the houses of the area.

“We hope it’s Banksy’s work. Come and have a look yourself. Whoever painted, it’s worth admiring their creativity.”

The Bristol-based graffitist is known to create his masterpieces under the cover of darkness – leaving the scene before anyone can spot him in action.
