Ancient Mayan Vase Found in a Thrift Store

  • It might be the greatest thrift store find in history - and it's heading back to its homeland.
  • A 1,200-year-old Mayan vase will be returned to Mexico after it was sold for just $4 in a Maryland thrift store.
  • Its owner, Anna Lee Dozier, realized what she had after seeing similar-looking vases at a museum in Mexico City.
  • She worked with officials to authenticate the vase, which dates back to 200-800 AD.
  • Dozier says she's happy to see the artifact "go back to its rightful place"
