This is a hammered sheet silver breastplate with the neatest iconography that I have seen. This piece screams pre-Columbian.

It shows many levels of patination. It is 7.2" X 5.7". It is attributed to the Chavin culture...

Carroll wrote four books on northwest material. There is an opal outcropping about 30 miles away that matches this type of opal...

It has excellent provenance which goes to the buyer.

All of these points are translucent agatized coral found in Florida. I purchased 1, 2 (Bolen), 3 (Hillsborough) and 5 (Hernando) from Tom Davis. i still have his pre-internet catalog which will go to the buyer. He purchased these from one of the oldest and best collections in Florida, John Claytor. Agatized coral is a material highly sought after and prized by collectors and always brings a premium price. Because they are so desirable, they are now being quickly faked. Most of everything on eBa...

This is a very fine and extremely rare pipe from Venezuela known as a pipas angulares de barro procedentes. There is only one book written on Aztec pipes. "Pipas Precortesianas" was written by Muriel N. Porter. Porter states that Aztec pipes are extremely scarce and "we can almost say that pipes were unknown."
