An Antiques Roadshow guest was left baffled by the value of carved paddle which was a family heirloom that she'd brought in to be looked at the show in Northern Ireland.
An Antiques Roadshow expert was left dumbfounded by a 'mysterious' object on Sunday night's episode of the show - before revealing its true value to a very shocked guest.
The guest brought in a paddle-shaped object, which Adam soon discovered to be from the Austral Islands in the south Pacific. He added that the difficulty was because it came from a society that didn't record how they used objects - but suspected that it had been made at some point during the 19th century.
Adam pointed out the intricate and ornate carvings in the item, focusing on two carvings of figures in the head - something that the guest had never before noticed.
