The quality of fake scarabs  on eBay is defintely getting even worse!

These offered as genuine mid June 2016.

The sellers of these scarabs seem to actually genuinely believe they are for Psamtek I

One seller changed his mind from ast year, but it is still wrong.

The genuine scarabs of Psamtik I which these (large) fakes try to copy are actually quite small.

Someone asked me about this scarab.

2018.

And someone has asked about this scarab

Someone has asked me about  this type of thing.
