Who wouldn’t want to find a centuries-old rhinoceros horn mug worth several thousand euros in a garage? British TV personality Charles Hanson does this sort of thing for a living, on camera, of course. He is particularly proud of his latest find: He calls the drinking vessel from the late 17th or early 18th century, which a couple had deposited in his garage, a „magical object.“ In ancient Chinese mythology, the rhinoceros horn was said to have an aphrodisiac effect, and it was also believed to be able to detect poison and change color to warn of danger. The cup is now being auctioned off.
