AK asks if this glass cage-cup is genuine. 31st July '10
.
. From Geoff. 4th August '10 Looks good and worth the money. dr g.
From Al 4th August '10 Looks oddly clean and devoid of surface change. Sort of too good to be true. But how many craftsmen could make one like that these days? An incredible feat of cutting skill to carve this from a block of glass.
. From Portland.
13th August '10
Here are some photos comparative photos:
. And some direct comparative photos with the Constable Maxwell cup.
. Mark asks. 13th August '10 I have 2 stone statues that I would like to have authenticated/aged & translated.I am willing to send them in for testing.Can you identify the script? I believe Assyrian but I am not certain.
. Not Assyrian. Nor, alas, actual genuine ancient artifacts. The script appears to be Proto-Sinaitic derived South Arabian but I have never seen anything like these from that part of the world. And the style is distinctly not South Arabian.
I'd be delighted to be proved wrong though. In fact they look very familiar to me but I cannot find them in my books about fakes. Anyone else know? . Someone asked me is this scarab is genuine.
. No, alas, it is not. The back is resonably well done though the surface and colour are most odd.
. The phonetic compliment, the short horizonal bar, is placed in the wrong position. Examples of the correct placing of the phonetic compliment.
