Amanda had picked up a sculpture at a car boot sale for \u00a390, but wanted to know if it was worth more. <\/p>\n

It was suspected that the sculpture could have been created by one of the 20th Century's greatest artists, Dame Elisabeth Frink.<\/p>\n

As Amanda headed to find out what the experts thought, she told Fiona: "I'm still a bit apprehensive. Excited but yeah, I am not sure how it's gonna go."<\/p>\n

Fiona replied: "Neither are we," before asking Philip: "If this is a fake, what are we talking about in terms of value?"<\/p>\n

Philip explained it would be worth a few hundred pounds if it wasn't a genuine piece by Dame Frink, which would still be a profit on what Amanda had paid for it at the car boot sale.<\/p>\n

He added: "If it's a Frink, it's probably a small fortune. I can see it being worth possibly \u00a360,000.<\/p>\n

"This is quite an emotive looking object and if we can prove that it is unquestionably by her and part of that series. That's what the committee is meeting to consider."<\/p>\n

A group of experts on Frink's work spent hours deliberating over the piece, before returning their verdict.<\/p>\n

The decision hung on a blob on the sculpture, with Fiona pointing to it and saying: "After everything we've been through, it seems rather odd to think that the verdict could rest just on that little blob there."<\/p>\n

Back in the room, one expert, Annette, told Amanda: "So, we've looked through the dossier… covered it very carefully and analysed all the points.<\/p>\n

"Obviously, it is a Frink Warrior from that period, but the question has always been, is it a later or unauthorised casting?"<\/p>\n

She then confirmed it was an "original Frink".<\/p>\n

Amanda let out a cheer<\/span> before becoming emotional, with Annette saying: "You look like you're about to cry."<\/p>\n

Amanda cried: "Wonderful".<\/p>\n
