<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 10344605, member: 55&quot;]Just because there was mention in another thread of a particular dealer with a Native specialty.</p><p>Here is an Eboo listing from Cisc** eboo outlet; listed in the Canadian Aboriginal category for $1500 US.</p><p>These panels are imported reproductions, or fakes, retail value around $50. The only indication that they know they are fake is the comment “Contemporary pieces in good condition.”</p><p>Without going into details of why it is an obvious fake, I&#039;ll mention the lack of photos of the back (which would reveal either that it was a tropical, non-native wood, or had been painted black to disguise the wood, which native carvers past or present would never do). And the fake patina, produced by covering the new carving in gray paint and wiping most of it off.&nbsp; This is an obvious fake, and the seller almost certainly knows this.</p><p>Just an illustration that it is always buyer beware.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]520479[/ATTACH]</p><p>(Eboo item 267221682205)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
