Want to share with you some replicas of published artifacts that are now in museums or have been recently published in Archaeological journals or websites.
First is this water jar - I am not trying for exact duplicates, only similar items, so they are not made to look as old as the originals, as a forgery would. Also, here is a picture of the original in the museum.
Then is a replica of a jade or jadeite mask and breastplate in mosaic pieces found in Tak'alik Abaj with a shot of the original.
Also, a wheeled toy animal which is representational of many found in Central America at various sites.
Then a cup found in a US News & World Report from June 1999 with an image of a ballplayer. The glyphs are only stylized as the medium was too difficult to fit the real glyphs into at this scale and with my talent!
Finally a container and lid with a peccary on top = the lid was found in El Zotz, Guatemala and the body of the container was found elsewhere, but had a similar design.
Travels in Mayaland a replica of a jade or jadeite mask and breastplate in mosaic pieces found in Tak'alik Abaj with a shot of the original.
