This is an interesting fake.

Someone has taken a genuine cone for Paenre (Davies and Macadam No. 524)

And used it to make  impressions on a newly made  fake cone.

When you reverse the image you can see this clearly.

2018

I stumbled across this one recently.

Difficult to make out as they have shown it upside down.

This is it the right way up.

From its incompleteness, its shape , both the face and the body, I believe it is copied from quite a rare example, one of the few stamped on rectangular clay artefacts usually referred to as 'bricks'.

It is one of very few  which are stamped on these elongated bricks.

2020.

A new fake type I've not come across before

In our book we omitted to mention that two shown in Davies and Macadam, numbers 116 and 586 were thought to be old forgeries. I'm  not aware of any examples anywhere at all.
