Someone local has this object and it intrigues me. Not sure if anyone here knows about this stuff...but here is the info he has:
it looks like gold/or bronze or the ancient metallurgy known as Tumbaga (orchilcum)... gold/copper smeltg or gold silver ?? it has patina(black) it doesn't attract to a magnet and is quite heavy. Has no seams. Looks like a woman/goddess? and has a strirrup (round band) on top of the head?
I don't know how big it is.
Based on this and the pics doesn't anyone have any ideas? Does this look authentic? value?
Thanks guys! Just curious
