In concluding Collon states: "Porada believed that, with time, a forgery would look worse and worse, whereas a genuine object would grow better and better. [...] Over the years Queen of the Night has indeed grown better and better, and more and more interesting. For me she is a real work of art of the Old Babylonian period."
