Is it old, a tourist piece or something of importance to those/him/her who made it, what does it represent? Any information is welcome. Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: I just remembered that I asked in a group on Facebook not long after I got this sculpture and someone suggested that it could be a &quot;pre-Columbian death effigy depicting a bird carrying a loved one or someone important to the afterlife&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]452910[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452911[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452912[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452913[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452914[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452915[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]452916[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
