[QUOTE="navieko, post: 2436816, member: 15816"]Hi there! Hoping the resident experts here can be of assistance. I was gifted these items by an elderly friend who was given this ornate silver cup & spoon while she was traveling Bolivia over 50 years ago. Apparently they're early Jesuit made by the "Chiquitanos" for a missionary church in Santiagio de Chiquitos, Bolivia. I was hoping to try and establish an approximate value on what these sort of things can go for and if it's worth my time/expenses in finding an expert on these types of items/history who can assist in verifying their authenticity as well as a more definitive value on them in the case that I wish to auction them in the future. There doesn't appear to be any makers mark, which I wouldn't have expected considering their history. Hopefully these pictures will suffice in giving you an idea of what I have, otherwise if more is needed please don't hesitate to ask.
