[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 182371, member: 55"]From the discussion thread linked below- which it appears you may have already visited - there are multiple copies of this item in existence. To me, that argues against it being old or valuable; while one may guess as to how it came to be inside a barn wall, it is more likely that a relatively modern item came to seem like it was built-in, than to imagine a chain of events that would lead to an artifact thousands of years old being in that location. In other words, the mystery is how a replica came to be where it was found..... but that is just my opinion. [URL]http://www.instappraisal.com/appraisal/gudea-libation-cup-caduceus[/URL][/QUOTE]
