With the latest update of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the dear merchant Volpolo of Animal Crossing: New Leaf returns with his art shop "The Sea of Treasures of Volpolo", which will allow us to exhibit the works purchased in our art Gallery. Of many works, however, Volpolo will try to sell us fakes. We have already talked about how to recognize fake paintings and in this guide, however, you will find all the information you need to recognize fake statues and not be fooled by Volpolo.
We will show you the real statues and tell you what are the characteristics that distinguish the fakes. Ready to do some art history review? Let's begin.
Warrior statue
In the fake version, the warrior holds a shovel in his hands.
Terracotta warrior.
Legendary Statue
In the counterfeit version, the famous Capitoline wolf comes out the language.
Capitoline Wolf by Antonio del Pollaiolo.
Graceful Statue
To recognize the false you will have to sharpen your eyes. In the counterfeit version, in fact, the Venus wears a necklace.
Venus de Milo by Alexander of Antioch.
Athletic Statue
The fake version of this sculpture will be particularly easy to recognize. In the fake, the athlete wears a watch, which is quite strange for a sculpture made in 455 BC
Discobolus of Myron.
Majestic statue
Again, you won't have to go to great lengths to spot the fake. In the counterfeit version, the David holds a book under his right arm.
David by Michelangelo.
Informative stone
The fake version sold by Volpolo is blue in color, unlike the black color of the original.
Rosetta Stone.
Rock Head
The facial expression carved in the counterfeit version shows a smiling face.
Olmec Colossal Heads.
Ancient statue
In the fake version, there are two antennae protruding from the head of this sculpture.
Dogu.
Imposing statue
The fake has a lid that the original does not have.
Houmuwu Ding.
Heroic statue
The fake version of Nike has the left leg positioned forward, as opposed to the original in which the right leg is forward.
Nike of Samothrace of Pythocritus.
Enigmatic statue
In the counterfeit version, there is an earring that hangs from the right ear.
Bust of the Neferiti of Thutmose.
All the other statues sold by Volpolo do not have a counterfeit version, so you can buy them safely.
