“Secret Society”?
Maybe not so secret. Collectors must have put a great deal of faith in the “ethnologist”, who authenticated this piece.
Anybody else getting Dead Sea Scroll, Morman Bible, Barry Halper collection vibes from this story?
As in, maybe the mask really only is worth a few hundred bucks…but the piece of historical fiction that the last niche auction house crafted around the piece, is what is actually worth millions.
