m-e-h-t what a great looking 52 skull

By comparrison, the one on the right(o.p.) is not looking so good.
Is it an illusion, or is is a tad smaller? Also, of course, surrface screams inferior by comparison. Perhaps it was dug and polished.

But anyway, some heavy hitters have given their(not so good) opinions already, so it must be so.
Best,
Jp

and yes, the one on left is a True Beauty.

,,agree with Eddie and others.
I love the "dirty" one. Great photo for comparison.
The minor differences make ALL the difference To me,
the thread starter is UGLY in more ways than one.
Cheers,

Great way to learn! Post an original with a fake, that way you have a photo taken under the same conditions. The issues with the fake are obvious.
