Bronzed off

World expert embarrassed at apparent gaff in attributing bronzes to Michelangelo.
The two bronzes which show naked men riding panthers had been linked with Michelangelo but Alberto Montellini from the Sorbonne Institute had earlier in the week confirmed they were definitely genuine pieces by the world famous artist.  
However, on a school visit to the museum currently exhibiting the bronzes, Juliet Morgan, a year five pupil from Monmouth Primary School, pointed out the manufacturing stamp on the panthers feet indicated that their authenticity needed clarification.
A red faced Mr Montellini gave no statement as he was whisked away in a taxi from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport.
