    The little guy is a Mexican souvenir, inspired by pre-Columbian terracottas.

    I wonder if the vase is made by Kabyle Berbers from Algeria? Their ceramics often look a bit indigenous American.

    Thanks, AJ. I thought the one looked Mayan PC but wasn't sure if it was authentic. I'll check out your lead on the other piece.

    It is a nice example. I would say Mixtec inspired though, rather than Maya.

    Yes, it is similar to Kabyle terracottas, both are Berber.
