Good evening! Are these oil lamps fakes or genuine ones?
Origin - Petra in Jordan.
Thank You very much in advance for the help!
Sergey.
Strobilus:
The lamp with an erotic scene is certainly a modern fake and the other lamp is very likely to be fake too (form, fabric and finish are highly dubious; is the nozzle actually pierced?).
Never trust anything described as coming from Petra (a favourite hunting ground of fake-sellers conning gullible tourists).
Joe Sermarini:
Definitely modern replicas.
