Tunnioc Pillar of the Community United States 3181 Posts	Posted 02/19/2015 10:57 am It appears to be made of clay. My friend brought several of these displays back from California in the 1980's. Report this Post to the Staff
Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 02/19/2015 11:04 am @Tunnic I dont think your statue is pre - Colombian, but rather a modern reproduction. The tools and such look fine but without expert knowledge and having them in hand it would be tough to authenticate. Some day I would like to find a large early Clovis point.

Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 02/22/2015 4:01 pm From my collection we have a child's toy. It is a (terracotts style) Brahman bull. It is (up to) 5,000 years old. These would be made in pairs and would be supplied with a wooden cart making a 'efigy' of the transport of the time. This period is before the use of horses. Children would play with them much like children of today play with cars and trucks. 4 inches x 3.75 inches x 2.25 inches Report this Post to the Staff
