Featured Figures

Anyone know anything about these ?

 

at 1st glance , South American souvenir sculptures...based on ancient cultures ..

 

Ditto. Looks like they are pre-Columbian style figurines from Ecuador. Probably not of the period.
More photos would be appreciated.

 

Okay how should I take them ?

 

More different views, and details of faces and hands. And bigger pictures please, you can go up to 1mb.

Thanks for the extra pics. Here is my opinion, without handling them, so to be checked hands on by someone knowledgeable:

The first one is really nice. That face is a treasure.
It looks like it could be an antique replica, which is a replica (fake?) made over 100yrs ago.
Antique fakes and replicas also have a nice value.

It would be good if someone took a look at it just to be sure.
The best way to assess if terracottas are pre-Columbian is to handle them and smell them. I can't do that from here, and I can't tell you what to look for.
So if I were you, I would contact a museum with a good pre-Columbian department near you, and show little guy #1 to an expert there.
If you are going to a museum with #1, take #2 along too, you never know.

If you need help finding a museum, ask here, there are plenty of US members who can help you.
Will you keep us posted?

 

@AjVintageLover .... so far from the items they left behind , I get the feeling they knew the value....or lack thereof , & while in some cases very nice....they left no treasures...

I call em, like I see em... !
