silver pin I found

[markmopar]

I have no idea what this is. The figures look Mexican-like. It's about 2" tall and 1 1/4" wide. The only marking is 'sterling 925'.

Hi - the center design reminds me of a Colombian design I've seen as a child. Hopefully someone here can confirm this. Very nice find!

The symbols are Myan, and there is a llama?

I believe the central design to be Colombian. I recall seeing this design as a child on a gift from someone from Bogota.

I have studied and seen in person Mayan glyphs and carvings and I don't believe any of the designs to be Mayan. Nor have I ever seen a llama depicted at any Mayan sites either.

Hopefully someone here can confirm.

The knife is a Tumi, usually associated with Incans.

good ID, plus the Incan's had many legends and myths were about llamas (pictured at the top). Nice tourist piece with some nice scenes around the edge.
