Are these statues worth anything?
I found these two statue thingys in an antique store and I thought they were cool and wanted to know if they were real and how much they were worth.
I dont have much info on them but I'll tell you what it says on the tags.
The first one says its an Effigy Vessel from Western Mexico, seated woman, earthenware and pigment. Its Pre-Columbian 300BC-AD300 and they want $850. Here is a picture: http://www.flickr.com/photos/41806781@N03/3853911997/
The other one says its an Indonesian Mythical Carving and they want $125

Thanks for any info on these.
As to the pre-columbian sculpture : western Mexican culture is related to Colima, Jalisco e Nayarit. The oldest are called "Chinesco".
Long heads and marked eyes figures (always holding something in the hands) in "terracota" are typical of burial cerimonies.
The 500b.C. to 800a.D. period of western Mexico history relates to Monte Albán in Oaxaca Valley (the Zapotecas).
Maybe you should try photos/information using these tags ...
Good luck !
