Amazing;a trick similar to the one used by Amadou to circumvent TL tests, and the Kuhn ram bought at a famous auctioneer for $275 000.


...Amadou explained that he digs "holes into the clay where I can bury fragments of authentic terra cotta found at the [looted] sites ...

A socketed bronze form of the Ge dagger-axe, which were used later that the tanged ones just sold on a famous online e-site for a few hundred pounds UK.

Another similar one just sold on a UK Auction house real time online auction for around 12% of that

I'll have an easier time mounting it on a pole than the earlier one I posted.
(Yes, I bought the cheaper one)

No provenance on this one, real or not. I'll assume it is fake tho after all the above...

At least the Auction house knew what it was.
