An 800-year-old, gold-plated crucifix that went missing after being seized by the Nazis has been found in a rubbish skip in Austria. This crucifix, made of copper and enamel, was crafted in Limoges, France, and was part of a Polish art collection brought to Austria during Nazi rule.

It was found in 2004 in the lakeside winter resort of Zell am See by a woman combing through a skip filled with the discarded possessions of a neighbor who had just died.

Now, the crucifix might be worth up to 400,000 euros ($539,000) at auction. Poland’s culture ministry has contacted the London-based Commission for Looted Art in Europe, which represents the heirs of former art collectors.
