I thought about buying it, but couldn't see the point.

Or the rest of it, for that matter.

It's a step up from the 'work' of Piero Manzini who...er...'crafted' his masterpiece '****-in-a-can' in the 60s. Almost 100 were made but only one is documented as sold - to Alberto Lucia for 30 grams of 18-carat gold .
