<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KikoBlueEyes, post: 3728036, member: 8363&quot;]This type of thing has happened to me too.&nbsp; Fakes are made to simulate the real thing.&nbsp; Famous institutions have been fooled by forgeries.&nbsp; Modern resin has been used since the early 1900&#039;s and used to mimic more valuable materials such as ivory, cinnabar, etc.&nbsp; Learn to spot it by handling things and looking very closely for burst bubbles, a formulaic kind of form, lack of carving marks etc.&nbsp; You&#039;ll soon learn to spot it.&nbsp; Resin itself has been around for centuries, but the modern form is sometimes used to create fakes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
