YOU ARE HERE>>REAL or FAKE>Fake Sumerian perforated plaques, page 2

Another one. A composite of several.

The bottom panel is copied from the Relief of Dudu also in the Louvre.

The faker has, again,  not managed to properly copy the cuneiform.

Other parts probably copied from other plaques showing online.

And another! From the same seller.

It is a copy, though done slightly larger , of this one.

Less money though!

And yet another....from the same maker, if indeed not by the same hand.

This seller in Dubai seems to specialise in near eastern 'antiquities' which are fakes where special attention has been given to creating often fairly plausible artificial ageing.

And yet more! See next page.
