You would have to have a way to determine either the inital amount of Cesium and strontium incorporated or the amount of product formed, in addition to the amount left, not only the amount that is left, in order to determine age.

Also, even if the forgeries were closer or even in Japan at the time of The Bomb, this method would still work. Standard radiometric dating, right? Compare the isotopes currently detected vs their decay products. So something closer to the initial blast/fallout would have both the higher initial isotopes and a corresponding higher 'bi-product' elements. Like comparing 5/10 vs 500/1000. Still get the same number.From the entry Radioactive fallout helps authenticate art
Heck, Caesium-137 has a half-life a little over 30 years, and Strontium-90 about 29 years. In theory using this they could even get pretty close on -when- it was forged. Proly not the exact year, but within a 5-10 year estimate.
And I thought I read about this too..years ago, proly in a SciFi book. But the Science is sound. I'm pretty sure someone has used the same thing(A-Bomb radiometrics not the regular radiometrics) for some other issues, but the 1st time I heard it applied to art.

The light on the horse looks wrong - too soft compared to the rest of the lighting. I say fake, but I do love the recent rash of sewer horses. Modern day kelpies, perhaps?

No, watch closely again, her hands are open, it's near impossible to grab things with open hands. Also there is a close up shot in another video where her hands are a good 3 inches away from her chest and once the confetti touches her head she immeadiately throws her arms out, without touching the pink dress and the white dress appears.
