A woman discovered a $4 vase she bought at a thrift store is a 2,000-year-old Mayan artifact, Fox News reported Friday.
Anna Lee Dozier learned a vase she bought for just $3.99 at a local thrift store is actually a Mayan artifact dating back over a millennium, according to Fox News. The ancient ceramic piece, originally purchased five years ago at the 2A Thrift Store in Clinton, Maryland, will now be returned to Mexico, its country of origin.
Dozier, who works for the human rights organization Christian Solidarity Worldwide, often traveled to Mexico for her job, Fox News reported. It was her familiarity with the region that drew her attention to the vase, which she initially thought was a mere tourist souvenir, possibly a few decades old. However, a visit to Mexico City’s National Museum of Anthropology in January sparked a realization.
