    s-l1600.jpg s-l1600.jpg Looking for opinions of how well executed this 20th c. reproduction of a Nayarit tomb figure was done ? Larger than many examples at 18" tall.

    It is the regular kind of Nayarit repro, not artist made. I've noticed prices going up for these.

    When you describe as 'regular', not 'artist' type - does regular mean what is made for the tourist trade ? Also how unusual is the larger size.... I've seen quite a few at about 8 to 12 inches tall..... this one 18 inches. Are the three pictured regular, artist made, or original ancient examples ?

    Regular is average tourist and export repros. I used to see them in different sizes and qualities. I don't go to shops anymore, so I don't know which ones in which sizes are sold currently. I expect it is still the same.

    The three pictured are Nayarit, ancient.
