Hi All
I am new to this forum and am looking for assistance in identifying and evaluating some cool artifacts my wife and i recently found.
After searching the internet we found that the artifacts are probably from my wife's late father's visit to Peru in the 80's.
I think we have:
9 Tumis (ceremonial knives). the largest is 11 centimeters tall and 9.5 centimeters wide. The smallest is 7.5 centimeters tall and 6 centimeters wide.
Two traditional pins (tupus), one large with a sun figure and two teaspoons (size: 22 centimeters tall and 9 centimeters wide) and one small, also with a sun figure and a small hole on top which is 10.5 centimeters tall and 2 centimeters wide (on the top side) .
A kind of a silver pin with a flat bottom and a bird on top which is 13 centimeters tall.
Did we get it right? do you have any idea how much these are worth?
Thank you!
