What does 未鑑定の為、模写として出品致します mean?


The description says

> 未鑑定の為、模写として出品致します。

Does it mean the artwork being auctioned is not authentic and only a copy or
does it mean because it is not identified the owner can not guarantee the
authenticity?




> 未鑑定の為、模写として出品致します。

It says "Because it hasn't been identified by an expert, I'm putting it up for
the auction as a copy."

So I'd say it's the latter, rather than the former. (They're not saying it's a
copy, but that they're submitting it as a copy.)
