The Antiques Roadshow expert believes the name of the slave trader was inscribed in the relic and called him a 'despicable human being.'

BBC’s Antiques Roadshow confronted a historical artifact with a past so dark that it left expert Ronnie Archer-Morgan at a loss for words – or rather, a price.

“The item was a disc that acted as an endorsement of the professional reputation of an African slave trader in the West African port of Bonny in the 18th century,” host Fiona Bruce said in a voiceover. The woman who brought the item revealed on the show that she got hold of the object from a family she used to look after.“One of the members passed away and she was having a house sale,” she recalled. “And I bought that 36 years ago in the house sale for £3.”
