National Museum of the Romanian Peasant
Bucharest, Romania
The leg is actually a piece of a Roman column from the age of Emperor Vitellius. The column was found on the bottom of the Mures River, with some text on it, so people in the congregation thought it would be wiser to use it upside down, in an act of "exorcism".
