Quite well made.
I'm creating a page on my website for various types which are coming

I have two shabtis similar to the one depicted and the same size. If
you saw a photo of them you would swear they are genuine. But I have
my doubts even though they came from an ADA member.

trust or be able to see them in person. Just my opinion. If the
resident experts give them a thumbs down, that would reinforce my
