In the year of our lord 2013, a New York "antiquities" gallery was offering a "mummified bust" for sale as a genuine piece from ancient Egypt. 1) that's clearly a tourist copy of the famous bust of Nefertiti; 2) why would you... mummify a sculpture?

Quite the exchange from the Brooklyn Museum archives - Robin Symes asking "hey, want to buy this freshly looted torso?" and the curator replying "lemme see if it matches any of the looted heads I know!"
