Fake Oil Lamp, La Marsa Group, Tunisia 20th/21st Centuries4 viewsPer David Knell (Strobilus2): "I'm afraid your lamp is a poor-quality tourist fake. The style and fabric suggest it was probably made in the 'La Marsa' workshop in Tunisia during the 20th/21st centuries."

Bronze Arrowhead9 viewsFake arrowhead that has been making the rounds, often listed by NFSL eBay sellers such as ancientearth2006 and many others. Seems to be referencing ancient Iranian types such as Khorasani 455, Moorey 64/65, and Muscarella 403.
Identifiable not just by the distinctive shape and proportions, but also by the slightly off-center square-sectioned rib, too thick wings, unconvincing fabric, and fake patina. The collage includes the same cast type from multiple sellers, some of whom are on the NFSL.KamnaskiresAug 04, 2023

fake clay tessera50 viewsFake tessera, part of a very large group sold in 2015 by reputable and not so reputable sellers. This group included a lot of emperor's heads, many duplicates and was of generally dubious style. Die matches to modern Bulgarian fakes have been found as well as matching reverses (supposed papyrus imprints).
This one is die-matched to this published fake:
