Sadigh missed realising that the silly fake shabti was a copy of the Ahmose shabti.

He also missed the point that this one ( a popular tourist souvenir type) is copied from one of the really lovely fragments of wall painting from the tomb of Nebamun  in the British Museum.

And this one is copied from

Or in "Technicolor" for only $2000

Another variant for sale: "only" $4000 !

And yet another variant a few years later.

Described thus:

Carved limestone wall fragment depicts three Egyptian Goddesses playing musical instruments, wearing headdresses, colorful garments, bracelets and collars.

Traces of green, deep orange, yellow ochre and black. Light earthen patina. New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty.

Only $4000 !

Many things offered by Mr Sadigh are tourist souvenirs inspired by well known artefacts.

• For the papyrus of Ani in the British Museum see here:
• For Mr Sadigh's tourist souvenir copiers see here:

CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY AND INFORMATIVE LITERATURE FROM A NEW YORK GALLERY.

 An honest  seller who immediately removed the listing when informed of the truth.

One can actually buy, for much less than  these rather horrid  copies sell for, rather wel made copies.

Here is one being  made.
