By pnixon1, 2 February, 2010
Description

I bought these items when I was in Guatemala 10 years.The smaller items came from a market in Chichicastenango.The pouring vessel came from the same town but from a small store that dealt with antiques.I think I paid $20.00 for it.The pot appears to be made from clay and has a glaze on the upper part.It is about 1/4" thick.Its weight is a little over 1 lb.

The clay face is 2/12" wide by 4 1/4 long.This is over 1/2" thick.(5 1/2 oz)

The smaller piece measures 1 1/2"wide by 2".at the rear there is a vent hole 5/16" This piece appears to be a part of a container.It is wider at the top than the bottom.The grount level is 1/2".As you come up the foot it widens to 1".(2 oz)

The fourth piece is a jade carving of a male head with a head dress.This is a pendant and is almost 1 1/4" long by 3/4" wide.(3/4oz)

The final piece is from what I was able to research is a stone figure,Axe god.
This measures 2 1/2" by 1 1/2".(2 3/4 oz)
