Thumbs up Wonderful things

I could not think of a title for this thread other than wonder. A few more pictures from the Dalhem Berlin. To me this sort of thing is in a class of its own, making any shiny jewel encrusted sharp metal thing seem quite trivial.

Amazing Peruvian stone club in perfect condition. Pottery with warrior with club.

Absolutely wonderful Colombian stone carving of warrior deity and Colombian bronze axes. Nonferrous metal smelting has a long history in the Americas. The Colombians have made requests for the return of the stone statues. A bit like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted. They should have appreciated then earlier .

Thumbs up

NICE ITEMS THERE HAS NOT BEEN MUCH INFORMATION ON THE COPPER AND BRONZE ITEMS MANUFACTURED IN THE AMERICAS IN THE FORUMS. THERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES IN OLD POSTS OF CERAMIC FIGURES WITH WEAPONS AND A FEW BRONZE AND COPPER ITEMS MOSTLY MACE HEADS. I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE FIERCE STONE FIGURE IT MAY BE OF THE ENTITY KNOWN AS THE DECAPITATOR.
