The focus of this volume is the history of identifying forged antiquities, as well as the identification of the great forgers, such as Oxan Aslanian, the "Berlin Master", who deceived many a curator and collector during the first half of the 20th century. A selection of more than 200 characteristic examples of Egyptian works of which the falseness has been mostly recognized rounds out the present volume.
