A Full Beard and Trousers: Meteorite Nazi Buddha Exposed as Likely Fake
The discovery sounded like a sensation: A statue of a Buddha, allegedly 1,000 years old and collected by the Nazis in Tibet, had been carved out of a piece of meteorite. Now, however, it looks as though only the latter detail is true. The work is likely a fake produced at some point during the 20th century.

Fake
Guess it gets described as a "fake" on purpose.
