Nefertiti's Bust: Fake?

Ce

Several years ago a convicted forger came forward and claimed that Nefi's famous bust is fake. This guy made fake artifacts that fooled people around the globe, so no common Joe. The supposed indications of forgery:

🔹The way the bust is made- A stucko plaster coating is the indication of a amateur sculpture, not the stone sculptures of master artisans employed by ancient royalty.

🔹Visable damage- There's damage to the bust is located at the ears, posterior, and cobra (on the head dress). No damage is done to the face despite the cobra being fairly posterior to it, indicating the damage is deliberate because there's no way the face would not have taken damage if the cobra was so badly damaged in a fall.

🔹The crystal eye- The bust has one crystal and black wax eye. He believes the eye is ancient and was sourced to make the bust more convincing. However finding two eyes for this would have pretty much been impossible. When the bust was discovered it was supposedly assumed that the eye fell out and was unable to be found. The bust wouldn't have been made this way, he claims, because leaving an eye out of the bust would have been highly disrespectful.

🔹The time period- The period the bust would have came from was so short that it makes artifacts from then very valuable.

☞What do you think, is the bust a fake or a real artifact from 3000 years ago?
