Unpapered Junk Papyrus Sales




Worley Enterprises International (11395 99.9% positive) located in: Auburn, Alabama, United States has for sale:
                             .                             
For sale is this incredibly rare circa 4th to 7th century AD Coptic Christian papyrus manuscript fragment from Egypt. This piece was handwritten in Byzantine era Egypt by the Copts (Christian Egyptians) [..]. It is in incredible condition given its age. Still though, study photos for exact condition. It is still an ancient artifact, so will have flaws. It is only the fragment that you see in the photo. This would be a rare opportunity to add an incredible antiquity to your collection today! Provenance: ex 20th century private European collection (acquired mid century). Great conversation piece, display/ decor piece, teaching tool, gift, or addition to any collection! Don’t pass it up! [...] My items come from my personal collection, reputable whole-sellers, art/antique dealers, auction houses, old barns/houses, and more. Some are given to me to sell, found, or even items that I got here off of eBay (from reputable sellers of course;). Some is bought in bulk so I can offer you great prices, and some are rare and I only have one.
The starting bid is US $124.95, but the seller says it is appraised as being worth $3400. Wow, eh? I really do not see that, it's a completely bonkers claim, there are no coherent traces of writing on its really grubby and flaking surface. No mention of any kind of poper export documentation, so I'd say it was in fact pretty worthless to a responsible collector. This seller has a number of other rather ripped up and crappy pieces.
