Ready To Lend A Han

Antique Needed More Than A Quick Fix

A museum curator in China has been dismissed after gluing a broken antique back together instead of reporting the damage. The antique, a wooden turtle dove more than 2,000 years old and dating from China's Han Dynasty, had its beak broken when it was transported by museum staff to an antique storage cabinet a year ago.
