I don't know, but it looks more like a Central or South American artifact to me.

I have been told maybe Aztec or Mayan

 

[Wolverine72]

Someone told me a couple months ago about the "duck river cache"
Some of that looks south american to.me too
Check that out

Adam, from the Duck Rive Cache..

Apparently Eve , the female of the pair was lost….

Reported weight of Adam 90+ pounds…
Seem too me something that size would be hard too loose or misplace…

I'd would also want to have that examined by an expert.
Here's somewhere you could start.

Let us know how it goes sir.

It reflects some Incan/Mayan/Aztec kinda artifact, but as posted- what do I know, just a WAG, not even a SWAG.

 

[tpgarrett21]

dunno, looks cool, could be South American, could possibly be 1800s slave sculpture? where's Antiques Roadshow when you need them

There's a pic or 2 of eve around but she got sold years ago and no one knows where she ended up. My guess is shes either in a collection and whoever owns her thinks she will get confiscated if found, or shes in an attic/flowerbed/yard somewhere that someone doesn't know what she is.

 

[Smo]

Thanks for the info ..I do remember seeing a pic of Eve somewhere long ago .
But wasn't aware the two were separated until recently..

 

[Carlos Viagra]

Well what did you find out?

 

[tyson007]

It is currently in the hands of an archaeological facility,hopefully will get some information

 

[Crow Terminator]

Ohh no, I wouldn't have ever taken it to an archeological facility. You may never see it again. They are crooked as they come. That's the equivalent to taking your kids to Casey Anthony to be a baby sitter. I would have waited til one of the relic shows near you and taken it to one of those. I guarantee somebody there would have known what it was and history behind it.

[tyson007]

I was informed that it is considered folk art,it is not native to the Tennessee or surrounding regions.

 

[tyson007]

I will take it to the next relic show that I attend and try to find more information.I have found some pictures that resemble it but nothing exactly matching

This is the place to go.. lawrence county..
