[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4292404, member: 2844"]I have a few pre-Columbian Peruvian textile fragments that I got from a friend of my parents who used to live in Peru. He had a collection of pre-Columbian items which just left Peru in the late 60s along with his household goods. There had been a ban before, but from 1929-1985 artifacts in private possession only had to be registered. I have no idea what that means for the legality under Peruvian law, but here in the Netherlands it is OK if it was in your possession before 1970. I think your pendant dates from the 70s, but the fabric may have been in the owners possession before the pendant was made. Peruvian silver is generally 925, but it was probably not made in Peru, because there are no Peruvian marks or a specific Peruvian style. The silver does look like sterling to me.[/QUOTE]
