<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 270452, member: 84&quot;]I think I found this in a storage unit I won at auction - I&#039;ve had it so long I don&#039;t remember! I know it&#039;s a &quot;double stirrup vessel/bird effigy&quot; - but could this be a piece from the Smithsonian? I know they sometimes hold auctions &amp; sell of some of their excess collections to make room/raise money for more.</p><p>I ask because it has a Smithsonian medal or tag or medallion embedded into it on the underside! I&#039;ve googled it trying to see if it was a souvenir - or a excess inventory sale -&nbsp; but found nothing anywhere about the medallion placed in it.</p><p>Has anyone heard of this? Is it a real piece of pre columbian or a souvenir?</p><p>I appreciate any help with this, thanks!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]85407[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]85408[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]85409[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]85411[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]85412[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]85415[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]85416[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
