Amarna Princess
The Amarna Princess sculpture - named after Egypt's capital under the reign of Akhenaton - is despite having no head nor legs the most famous 'fake' in Britain. She was believed to be an Egyptian princess, whos relatives included King Tut. Considered a rare find, the Amarna Princess fetched £440,000 and was put on display at the Bolton Museum. In fact, it was a forgery created in Bolton, Lancashire by Shaun Greenhalgh.
Part of the temporary exhibition The Metropolitan Police Service's Investigation of Fakes and Forgeries at the Vicoria and Albert Museum.
