<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 1230810, member: 10944"]I’ve found a semi similar figure at a thrift store and had the same assumption that it was a Vintage Mexican tourist piece. Mine was lighter clay and had a little more color. I also found a more interesting terra-cotta piece that could be Mexican at a thrift store a year or so ago. It could be Costa Rican as that’s where all the pre-Colombian examples I found were from. It could be from somewhere else in the Central/Southern American area too. It’s a very cool crocodile/alligator/cayman shaped whistle/ocarina I believe. Don’t mean to hijack your thread but it seems pretty solved so figured I would show mine here <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />. I assume it’s a newer piece but really don’t know when it was made. Maybe it’s a perfectly preserved 900 year old example left at Savers just for me. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]215302[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]215303[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]215304[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]215306[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
