Kel, I don't think this is a fake. The way I see this artifact, is the Asiatic hue seems to have been a slight deeply reddish undertone, but after centuries of being less preserved, the Asiatic's complexion have worn off. I assume this because you can see a deep reddish tint on the tip of his finger. It looks quite odd actually. the drawing style....not the color. the drawing style is not common with what we would associate with Egyptian figure drawing. ..... it looks very modern even.............probably a fake. its not even how they depicted "asiatic" and "nubians" either. |
