Context (Analysis)
On Tuesday 15th January 2019 Dr Kate Spence studied this object and confirmed this object is not a fake. It appears the modern ink was wrongly drawn onto the object. This made the original inscription unclear. The Period field has therefore been amended from 'modern' to reflect the Hatshepsut reign date and the Name field has had the 'Fake' reference removed.
