[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 271587, member: 2844"]A really lovely figurine. Those powdery pigments are often seen on Maya figures. Other cultures usually used a very smooth finish, or natural, plain terracotta. The Maya also had bearded figures, and of course the sacred ball game. But it is hard to tell if this is pre-Columbian or later, I would have to feel and smell it. It is probably best to contact a museum.[/QUOTE]
