[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2437547, member: 2844"]These are amazing, navieko. And welcome. In general, Jesuits in the Andean countries set up training centres for local artisans to make religious artifacts and art. So I think this would have been made by a local who was trained by the Jesuits. There is a clear mix of the two traditions, which is a hallmark of the wonderful Andean style. The little guy on the spoon looks like he just attended the Inti Raymi festival. You can contact the 'Museo del Tesoro' in Sucre, Bolivia. Tesoro means treasure. Sucre is the official capital of Bolivia and former silver capital of the world. (Bolivia has two capital cities, La Paz is the administrative capital) I couldn't find an email address, but they seem to be on Facebook. This is the other contact info I could find: Plaza 25 de Mayo Nro 59 Interseccion Calle Aniceto Arce, Sucre Bolivia [URL='https://www.antiquers.com/tel:+59167653500']+591 67653500[/URL] Otherwise try one of the big international auction houses. Will you give us a follow up?[/QUOTE]
