I would also say that claiming it is “not an original” suggests that it’s a copy rather than not being the original carving.

I’m pretty sure that big ole nose would require modern reinforced materials. maybe they tried and failed to make the anubis, but i doubt it would’ve worked very well.

They’re saying the head was replaced. Better phrasing would be that it is not in its original form.

Re-carved anyway, although I’d like to know what happened to all the original stone. You’d think we’d be able to find it. It’s a lot of stone based on that drawing.

Reused, most likely

If I drew a mustache on the Mona Lisa I think it’s fair to no longer call it an original.

Why? Is there an original somewhere else once you do that?

Your artwork would be an original. It’s not an unaltered mona Lisa, but it’s still an original painting.
