[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4598839, member: 2844"]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?[/QUOTE]
