randazzo1 said:I would say almost certainly new world. The black and white shards look like classic south western native American pottery -- Anasazi maybe. Is there a large university close to you? You could email the anthropology department (especially if they have an aracharologist in the department). The figure is awesome. Is some sort of anthropomorphic clay form. I'm a little confused by it because it almost looks like it would serve a functional purpose. The flat back is weird. I would search "Anasazi Effigy" and "Antrhopomorphic Clay Effigy" on google images -- maybe even throw "phallus" in their. Very cool. That's my two cents.
Finally - search Len Wood's Indian Territory Gallery. The owner will often give identifications of items by email. Very nice people.
