Once a player has unlockedJolly Redd’s Treasure TrawlerinAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, they will then be able to begin acquiring a myriad of paintings and sculptures to add to their museum’s art gallery. That said, Redd the fox is not the most honest of salesmen, and fans will need to be on the lookout for forgeries when buying art from him. Indeed, there is a real and fake version of nearly all of the artworks inACNH, and this guide will help players buy the right version of one in particular: the Valiant Statue.
To begin,AnimalCrossing: New Horizons' Valiant Statue is based on the Winged Victory of Samothrace, a Hellenistic sculpture created around the second century BC that is currently housed at the Louvre in Paris. Also called the Nike of Samothrace, this incredible sculpture is formed from marble, and players that are trying to determine the authenticity of a Valiant Statue inACNHshould look to its legs.

This distinction can be seen quite clearly in the image found below, and players that reference this visual should have little trouble obtaining a legitimate Valiant Statute, which they can then donate to theirmuseum art galleries inACNH.
To note, whileBlatherswill not accept a fake version ofACNH’s Valiant Statue for exhibition at the museum, players may still be interested in purchasing one for personal display. Certainly, the forged artworks inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonshave their own charms, and they are perfectly suitable options for breathing a little life into a villager’s home.
