<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 422538, member: 6444&quot;]Sort of related to the discussion about unmarketability of ivory items, I have read that Mexico and central america (along with many other countries) are also asserting claims on their cultural artifacts and antiquities - the presumption seems that most items were taken by tomb raiders and smugglers. Do you know whether this applies to only certain items, or to anything including items such as these. I have collected several apparently pre-Columbian pieces, but didn&#039;t know whether they can be sold or whether there are any restrictions?</p><p><br /></p><p>Very rarely (maybe never?) do I get anything with a proper provenance. This is because I buy direct from estates or thrifts, which I think applies to most of us on this website.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
