[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 271141, member: 84"]I found this st a estate sale a few years back. The lady's husband had passed away & she and her kids were selling everything including the house to buy her a smaller condo since he was alone now & the house was too big. I saw this piece (as well as another that I also bought) in a glass case on a shelf. The lady holding the estate sale told me her husband was a history professor and archaeologist who took numerous trips to S. America for business & pleasure - he brought this piece back with him on one trip, but she had no idea when; She also knew nothing about it. It looks like a Aztec/Mayan person to me (look at the face in 3rd photo) - did they make pieces like this? Is there a way to tell it's age/if it is real? I appreciate any help - it's one of my favorite pieces but I need to sell it and the more I know about it, the better. Thanks [ATTACH=full]85689[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]85690[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]85691[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]85692[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]85693[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]85694[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
