Thanks!

Can I ask another question? In case it would have been not a fake would I have been hollowed to sell it considering that I don't have anymore the receipt and I cannot prove the origin or that is mine?

Thanks

I wasn't doubting about your opinion, I totally do not have any experience in Egyptian art, I was just interested in learning more about recognising a fake.

But, if we can say that the real ones are just the only one in collections so if they are real then they will be sold for thousand then is fine to me to use it as a role

The owner when I bought it told me that the relief was coming from a house clearance and he just bought with the rest, he did not have knowledge about Egyptian art so he sold it to me for 15£.

Hi, sorry for the double message.

Can I ask you what I should look for in order to spot fake next time.

For instance what is wrong with my relief that makes you say that is for sure a fake, please?

I am very interested in learning more.

Thanks again.

Cheers!

Hi everyone! I am new to the forum, so thanks to the forum creator and to all the other members.

I would like to ask an opinion regarding a piece I bought in an antique shop.

It is an Egyptian relief representing a Pharaon and his wife (I could not identify which Pharaon it is).

This is the first time I approach Egyptian art so sorry for being naif.

As I said I researched a bit and I can say that there is no sigh of being forged from a mold, the sand that is present in the corners of the relief lines is not hard, with a brush is easily removable, I compared with style of what I found on the web and could not find clear inconsistencies, hieroglyphics seems to be possible, but I've no idea about the correct order.

Can I have your opinion, please?

I had very good fun in the research and I would like to see if I am totally wrong or maybe on the right path.

I attach two images, but I can add more if needed.

I do thank in advance all of you that would like to give me a hand.

Cheers!
