<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 136956, member: 37"]While they do look pre-Columbian, they may not necessarily be. Little pottery heads like this are often found in the Middle East, having been broken off their bodies over time. Some may not have had bodies in the first place. They were used as offerings during Roman times. I have some that came from Syria. Yours do look a bit different so could be from a Central/South American culture. I just don't necessarily know if they had similar practices. It might help for us to know size. The ones I am talking about from the Middle East are usually less than 1" diameter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
