Long-Disputed Maya Manuscript Turns Out To Be The Real Deal
Pincho says...
I can see why it doesn't look real, because the under-painted lines called pentimenti do not match the lines on top. You could say that the Maya blue was painted over the top afterwards. I would say that the pentimenti lines are genuine thus making the paper genuine, but the overpainting was done afterwards, defacing the genuine item.
