She's not sure what it is, or if it's even real. I know nothing about ancients, but from what I've read on here, I'm thinking it may be fake. My eyes aren't the best, but I think I see a seam on the side. What do you think? Thanks in advance for the help.

    It is a common fake poorly copying the popular type of Athens from the 5th and 4th centuries BC. The style is nowhere close to original.
