打折宝藏：当安娜的花瓶变成历史文物


It is 2024 now. Five years ago, Anna Lee Dozier found something. She was shopping at a store. She found an interesting vase (花瓶) on the shelf. It was on sale. She thought it was beautiful, so she bought it home. 

In January this year, Anna’s work took her to Mexico. She visited its national museum. She saw something looked like her vase. When she got back to her country, Anna sent pictures of the vase to experts. To her surprise, her $3.99 vase was a real Mexican artifact (历史文物). It was nearly two thousand years old.
She did not keep or sell it. She gave it back to Mexico. The vase will be kept in a museum in Mexico.
