Original Note:
This is a replica from a 19th century book by Dr. Vincenzo Guerini that claims to show a "Phoenician appliance found at Sidon", not Egypt. He made this replica after viewing actual examples in museums of Egypt. Provenance is unclear, origin and age can't be proven. https://checkyourfact.com/2022/02/07/fact-check-egypt-artifact-teeth-dental-work/ https://twitter.com/fakehistoryhunt/status/1283147067754512384
