Re: South American Statues

Those are some very cool statues, and if they're real could be worth quite a bit, it is much more likely though, that what you have are reproductions, in which case they're probably worth about $250-$350 ea., the statue of the male figure in particular seems to be wrong, as most of the period pieces of costa rican art I've seen have genitalia, which makes me doubt the authenticity of both of the larger statues, but you really ought to have them evaluated by an expert in south american art just to be sure.
