Comment | I bought a Michelangelo-and took it on an Easyjet flight to get it home

During my summer holidays, I took a Michelangelo on an Easyjet flight. We were in the cheap seats and didn't even do Speedy Boarding. Conservators and registrars may wish to look away, but let me explain. Some months ago I noticed a small crucifix in an online auction in Madrid. Dated around 1600, it was damaged and cheaply estimated. I am quite ignorant about sculpture but something about it shone from the catalogue.
