We opened this series with some items from Byblosantiques, a dealer operating out of Lebanon and today I return to an item from them for a couple of reasons. First, there appears to be some effort to include more details about provenance, although 'from the collection of Mr. Dagher in Beirut' seems to me to be on par with 'from the collection of Mr. Smith in Toronto'. I also continue to be disturbed that all these sculptures -- which seem to be all dated 100 A.D. -- just don't look right. And they all have the identical patina. In addition to today's, for example, there are these past auctions (you might have to be a registered eBay user to look at these) ... a head 'from 100 AD' (which PTR drew our attention to last week), which ended up going for 510.00 ... a similarly-dated female head ... a similarly-dated male head ... another head ... I'm not sure if it's my imagination, but the lips on all these pieces are identical. There is some variation in the treatment of the eyes, although some of the eyes strike me as being more appropriate for something a 'couple of hundred years later'. Of course, all the bidding on these is private ...
