Of course it is a fake.  If it is a Nantan, it would have rusted away 
into a million flakes about 997 years ago it if it was really carved 
1,000 years old.  Even if it wasn't a Nantan, I would guess it still 
would have rusted to an extreme state in less than 100 years time, 
unless it maybe was a very nickel rich ataxite.
