Banksy kept under spare bed to go on display in Salford.

A Banksy that has spent most of its time wrapped in a blanket under its owner's spare bed is to go on display for the first time in a decade.

Leopard and Barcode was offered to the organisers of The Art of Banksy after the show, which opens on 21 October in Salford's MediaCityUK, was announced.

Banksy originally created it on a house near Bristol in 1999 or 2000 and it was saved by a local architect in 2010.

The exhibition's curators said it was a "privilege" to be able to show it.

The work depicts a leopard walking away from a barcode, which has been made to look like a cage with its bars bent.
