Fakes and Forgeries

Fakes and forgeries refer to items that are intentionally made to deceive or mislead people. A fake is an imitation of something genuine, while a forgery involves altering or replicating an original work, such as art or documents, to pass it off as authentic. Both can arise in various fields, including art, currency, and historical artifacts. Fakes and forgeries can undermine trust and value, as they misrepresent the true nature and significance of the original objects. Detecting them often requires expertise and advanced techniques to identify inconsistencies or telltale signs of inauthenticity.
