This episode features a wallet made from the skin of the hand of notorious Edinburgh bodysnatcher William Burke; and a 19th-century Nepalese witchdoctor's outfit complete with spirit catcher and ritual dagger, given directly to the seller by a Shaman family. Plus a graduation artwork by young British artist Jake Chapman, which the seller bought in the 1980s for just £50; and a giant elephant-bird egg - 180 times larger than a hen's egg, it was laid by the biggest bird that ever lived.
