[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3600960, member: 2844"]Given the different colour clay and the more rough texture, yours could be a replica. The eyes are also different from what I usually see on Huastec figures. Is there an expert on pre-Columbian archaeology anywhere near you? At a university maybe? It is unlikely to be stoneware though, even if it is recent. Stoneware is fired at a very high temperature. These are called terracotta.:)[/QUOTE]
