Is very interesting the number of cases of artists and museums entering in panic and craving for attention in this time. Is like a mortal combat for historians.

As all the other fruits in the basket are from Mediterranean, and it seems to have leaves at one end, my candidate would be an african root vegetable that for some reason would be forgotten later in Occident. My main candidate would be Colocasia esculenta that is from China, but was cultured in the Mediterranean since the Roman empire at least. Size, color and leaves fit. Can't be consumed without a special processing that is well known in Africa but is not part of the culture in Europe.

Lotus root was a common crop in Egypt and could fit also if we assume that the pineapple pattern could be wrong.

Pineapple has a very different arrangement of leaves much more spread, stout and spiny, and this fruit has the wrong size and wrong shape also.
