It's a piece of wood that will probably sell for hundreds of pounds, but that might -- just might -- sell for millions.

Leeds antiques dealer Martin Roberts spotted the ornately decorated object among a load of junk at a car boot sale in Otley. Though he didn't know what it was, he did think it "looked old." Now, experts believe it may be the door or lid from a tabernacle, a box used to protect relics, and that it could date all the way back to the 8th century. Some believe that the tabernacle could have been used by the Knights Templar to carry religious items.
