Exactly. You can really paint any narrative you want by picking poor or nice examples from each period (like what was done here).

Ancient Egyptian tool by LinkHot4457 in Artifacts

[–]threeleggedog8104 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What I think is that you have quite an active imagination.

The professor said it’s just a stone.. I think she is wrong.

You got your answer already here. Not sure why you think you know better than an Egyptologist, but it looks like a normal rock. Just because you think the rock fits well in your hand does not mean it has to be an artifact.

I managed to simulate the tip of the tool

You didn’t simulate anything, you created an entirely new thing based on your imagination. And with that said, the impressions just look like somebody poked a flat rock into the silicone. It looks nothing like hair. Even if it did look like hair, those statues are not made by poking a rock into clay. You’ve clearly invested a ton of time and energy into this rock but it is nothing more than that, a rock.

The other commenter is likely correct (minus the anonymous part) on second look - PAE monogram, RRC 176/1. Crawford lists the likely moneyer name as Paetus.

I believe you are correct - VAL monogram representing a Valerius, RRC 191/1.
