I find it difficult to believe that the jaw lines, eye outlines, hair and the left end of the prow are not the result of tooling. The surfaces have all been heavily smoothed and to my eye the design roughly carved into the otherwise smoothed surfaces. Little of it looks to bear an original surface IMHO. It may well be a heavily
tooled imitative. However, based on the photo I find it extremely difficult to believe that it has not been subject to heavy
smoothing and tooling.
