<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ritzyvintage, post: 3659373, member: 18191&quot;]There are of course faithful copies of antiquities which are not made to dupe. Such items are not produced as fakes. Museum pieces for example will often not be the &quot;real thing.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; The golden treasures on display at the Sutton Hoo museum, are a typical example of this, not to mention many of the so-called &#039;ancient roman marble sculptures&#039; in the V&amp;A are in fact cast-copies. Michelangelo&#039;s statue of David, to name but one. &quot;Good&quot; copies of ancient items have a value in their own right, just as print of a famous painting does, or fine replicas of Tut&#039;s golden mask![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
