<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 11367131, member: 10944"]Grabbed this last second at a sale. I had been eyeing it but didn’t want to layout close to the asking price. Luckily I didn’t have to. I’m unsure what culture it hails from. The former owner was well heeled with a wide interest. They had a major interest in pre Columbian artifacts but also had old world ancient artifacts. This kind of says old world to me more than new world. The collection origin odds would be more on new world. Kind of an Egyptian look to me but I could be way off. Any ideas? Softball ish size. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am unsure if the little bit of blue is original or later and incidental. I’d lean towards the latter based on it being in just one protruding spot that is easily rubbed against.
