Yes, another forgery  not very well copied  from Dominiqe Collon's excellent book.

.

Several errors in the iconography  when copied from the imprint shown in the book. Hence copied the wrong way around of course.

Note the strange "pantaloons". None such worn by figures on cylinder seals.

Look at the known dress  styles for the period genrally speaking.

.

Copies based on thise shown in this book will continue to turn up.

• With thanks to Olaf.
•  Please have a look at his website.

.

Of course forgeries based on seals shown in other well known books and catalogues of seals are  quite numerous.

.

While such as these might well fool the very new to the subject,  how on  eath do these fool anyone! ? >>>>>> Next page.
