(Ibiza, Spain) -- Spanish authorities seized a Picasso sketch worth more than 460-thousand dollars after a traveler tried to sneak it past airport customs.

An unnamed passenger traveling from Switzerland arriving at the airport on the Spanish island of Ibiza tried to pass off the drawing as a copy of little value.

A gallery invoice screeners discovered in his luggage appeared to identify the work as an original.
