    I found these 2 yesterday & bought them; mostly because there wasn't a lot to choose from! They did appear that they could be real instead of tourist pieces, but I knew I had to bring them here to be sure.
    Any information - real or tourist/decorative, where from etc..
    Thank you!

    The Peruvian vessel is a very nice replica of a Moche terracotta, or 'made in the style of'.
    It is a good one, well made, and I would have bought it too.:)

    Authentic ones don't have flat bases.

    But there is value in good replicas too. Not as much as the antique ones, but I could see this making $150, maybe more.

    Needs a good polishing but i LOVE that mask ! It might be African,but Im leaning more to folk art.
