An acrylic nail worn by Lady Gaga during one of her concerts was retrieved by a crew member, and then sold for more than $12,000 on an auction website.
The black nail, which is decorated with tiny gold beads, was apparently worn by the singer at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland, in September 2012.
Accompanying the tiny keepsake was a photo of Lady Gaga performing on stage, which apparently shows that one of her fingernails was indeed missing.
To further prove its authenticity, the crew member also included an Aviva Stadium staff handbook, an event wristband and a grey T-shirt worn by the crew during the Lady Gaga Born This Way Ball tour.
And the nail came with another photo of the singer at an earlier event in New York, where she is clearly wearing the same acrylic designs.
According to the listing on ArtFact.com, it was designed by Japanese-born nail artist Aya Fukuda.
The consignor also added a letter stating how he obtained the nail - which was filed in the website under 'unique memorabilia and autographs'.
'I noticed an object on the floor of the stage, which at first I thought was a guitar plectrum,' it reads. 'When I picked it up, I saw it was an acrylic nail.'
