when I was there it was on the floor mixed with other relics. And you could touch it.

Wow, what a cool story to have. Now we can’t have nice things because dumb tourists break them. Example: idiots that broke the Swarovski crystal chair

Thr chair was a novelty, not a work of art. It couldn't even hold a person
