<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 5165365, member: 110350&quot;]Both of them are very appealing. Congratulations, especially on your first venture into Egyptian antiquities!&nbsp; For the future, a great resource for learning to identify and avoid fake ushabtis and scarabs, etc. is <a href="http://www.collector-antiquities.com/real-or-fake/fake-egyptian.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.collector-antiquities.com/real-or-fake/fake-egyptian.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.collector-antiquities.com/real-or-fake/fake-egyptian.html</a>, with multiple pages of examples. The author has his own store of inexpensive Egyptian and other antiquities for sale; see <a href="http://www.collector-antiquities.com/shop/gallery.html?pcat=4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.collector-antiquities.com/shop/gallery.html?pcat=4" rel="nofollow">http://www.collector-antiquities.com/shop/gallery.html?pcat=4</a>.&nbsp; And I believe he can be trusted to sell only the genuine article. Sorry, I wanted to recommend the site when you asked earlier, but I couldn&#039;t remember the name of it until just now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just curious: I&#039;ve noticed before that you spell ushabti as ishabti.&nbsp; Is there any reason for that?&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen shabti and shawabti used before, but not ishabti.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
