Is this pendant a replica of a pre-colombian fertility talisman or a fantasy design?

    Do you see what I see?
    or do I just have a dirty mind?

    I've been VERY careful about googling what I think it is to try and find what it was modeled after ... but have come up with nothing.

    I'm assuming a copy of something pre-colombian because it was at the same sale as the piece in last photo ... and they both have similar faces.

    Also to me. But I wonder if it is rather an interpretation with "precolumbian" traits. The upper part of the first pedant doesn't look stylistically that Incan to me.

    You may be right. Can't say I've ever seen anything like it (in gold.)

    This one is sold as "Precolumbian gold" in one auction house, no culture mentioned (which makes me doubt if it's real). But clearly, the second pendant can be - a more figurative - reinterpretation of something like this.

    Thanks @April07 :) That is close. Right after I purchased these I found the image below, which is even closer in appearance to the second little guy.

    Found about halfway down the page at this site: http://jewelrygemsabout.com/gem-art/colombian-jewelry.html
    Cannot vouch for their accuracy though.
