Fake Ushabtis on eBay 1st March 2006

 

First these whose images appear extremely dark:

 







The images as on eBay

 

And here they are after saving them to my pc and then making them lighter.

 







THEY LOOK BETTER IN THE DARK!

 

And then some shabti amulets. Which are very rare. The examples you will find on eBay (often!) are defintely tourist trinkets.

 





 

And then assorted fantasies and forgeries.....

 

 











 

An last but not least, this pair, advertised as of Tunakhamun! The pic on the left is how it is on ebay; the one on the right, after lightening it.

 

 

 




 

Can all these different sellers  be selling fakes??

Surely not!  (?)

Where do they find them????

 

Here..................

 

 








 

Yes, they come mostly from Egypt.

Manufactured in the last year or so.
