It was stored with a mass of fakes and rubbish that he also wanted to sell to the Met. It was very expensive at $600,000, an unheard-of price for a medieval object 20 years ago. But as Hoving reasoned, with the delicate sense of public relations that would mark his career at the Met, "Medieval art might be accorded a certain cachet by the expenditure of a stratospheric sum."
