[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 424165, member: 2844"][USER=8453]@Belgaqueen[/USER] , I forgot to mention it before, Nandi is a bull, not a cow. You just can't see it when he is in this position. These are faked, but the patina and sheen are different. This one has the velvety, tactile look of genuine age-related wear. The fakes look very brassy and have very shiny 'wear'. That velvety, tactile quality is what to look for. And feel, it feels like you want to hold it, like so many hands have done before. It is difficult at first, but over time you get a feel and eye for it. Visiting museums and reputable galleries helps.[/QUOTE]
