    First I thought it will be easy to track down how old and where from, but I have searched for hours to find a similar piece like this Anthropomorphic vessel without a result. There are similarities with some pre columbian pieces I saw while searching. But I have seen similarities with vessels from Africa and Asia as well. The pattern looks a little like it might be from Asia but the form like south american
    It would be fantastic to get your thought about this piece.

      Bear in mind, I know nothing as such. Looks Central, South American or Mexican to me. I think you have a winner there. I very much hope someone out there can help you!

      You may like to contact The British Museum, although a big player, they are very helpful and have assisted me twice in the past, when I was convinced I had something good I was unable to ID

      Let me see this is to let the household know contents Uneatable
      Or to place the Tounge of the village Liar
      Or to be placed near sleeping Mat
      After all night Village Celebrations
