If they were recovered from burial sites personally I would not possess them since I would consider that a Sacred item meant for the Dead and not the Living... but if you have a Peace about it!? I would research it more if only to authenticate them before investing a lot & have an expert take a gander to ensure they don't just have a good 'story' and might be a Tourist piece. *winks* <br /><br />This was such an interesting Post... I particularly loved the old Bone... that will make amazing Art!!! Can't wait to see what creative Masterpiece you come up with using them!!!<br /><br />Blessings from the Arizona Desert... Dawn...

Also, i'm not saying these dolls are reproduced but, when we were in south america these dolls were everywhere. They were making them and they all looked very old. I bought one. I'll post it. Maybe i can send you some money and you can pick out some cool jug material.cconzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246952905314075231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255066077370714495.post-86560428970598264852011-06-17T10:48:53.891-07:002011-06-17T10:48:53.891-07:00That shop is a real find.

I would love to hang out there and dig through all the stuff/treasure.

Great finds... I never heard of Death Dolls either... Saw some similar dolls in Sheila Paines book but they were from Russia and used to protect living people... Did you get to hold them in your hands? Did you have a good feeling holding them? It's something I would consider besides the price... maybe you could make something similar with old scraps of fabric or with some antiqued( with tea) fabric... Princess Angeline fascinates me too... I "met" her some 15 years ago through the work of Edward Curtis... talking about Native Americans... ever "met" Ishi ? His story is haunting... The ivory and tusks are cool, what are you going to make with them?<br />Thanks for sharing those pictures! :)Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07385074007388532307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255066077370714495.post-15297242290949082792011-06-16T21:23:17.836-07:002011-06-16T21:23:17.836-07:00Oh how I'd love to go diggin' at Bernie...Oh how I'd love to go diggin' at Bernie's - what fun finds. <br />Thanks for stoppin' by - you're right - it's a scorekeeper from a pool hall.<br /><br />JanGracie's Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12601222768430270519noreply@blogger.com
