[QUOTE="bosko69, post: 13100462, member: 16283"][SIZE=4]Christine-Thanks so much for helping with this piece, that if authentic-would certainly be (given the discovery scenario)-one of my more unique finds ! Your advice re contacting a Greater Nicoya expert's an excellent idea. The only person I've been in touch with so far, is the Pre-Columbian Gold Museum in San Jose, Costa Rica. I sent the Archaeology Curator, Priscilla Molina Munoz, pics and measurements of the piece. I never hold my breath when writing to Curators/Researchers-they have tons of things to do and are constantly bombarded by amateurs w/ Antique Roadshow fantasies. We've been to the museum and it has a fine ceramics collection. PS- Ditto-I'll be doing a deeper dive into finding accredited Nicoya specialists PSS-Incidentally the Guanacaste-style spicy fruit salsas are excellent. Here's a shot of the Nicoya Penninsula in the Guanacaste area of Costa Rica-lots of expats. [ATTACH=full]558610[/ATTACH] [/SIZE][/QUOTE]
