I was an archaeologist and digging up Roman artifacts. Alice recovered something that looked like the statue of a goddess, about the size of a palm, grey metal. We cleaned it and I thought it looked odd - very smooth and grey, more like PVC plastic than ancient metal. At the soles of the statue's feet I found a barcode and white label saying 'Made in Germany' and it indeed turned out to be plastic. I thought this was hilarious but tupper who had been so proud of her find was not amused.
