This release called Madonna of Bruges certainly lives up to that description. 999 pure silver and then fully wrapped in pure gold, this piece of art pays tribute to Michelangelos sculpture of Mary and Jesus. Unlike many other sculptures and paintings that show her looking down upon an Infant, this depiction is unique as it shows Mary showing sorrow for the future that Jesus must bear.

In fact, it has been moved multiple times and the recovery efforts after WWII were a subject in a big budget Hollywood film called The Monuments Men.
