hand carved native theme

[ogrickesteves]

I bought this last year for $27. The blade is a cold steel red river skinner blank. The case is wood was hand carved by the seller. Anyone have any idea what tribe/group this art resembles?

[useem]

looks Central American to me. Has an Aztec look to it

[Diligence]

I agree with the Aztec or Mayan theme. the large earings are typical. Also, it looks like a llama on the earing itself.

The lower figure looks like it's standing on a sacrificial knife, the one's that look like ulu's

Can you tell us what it says on the ear ring? I can make out the word "sol" (sun).

[ogrickesteves]

the earring says '1/2 sol de oro'.

[useem]

Ok, Thanks. "1/2 Sun of Gold"

Not ment to offend but that looks like a tourist
knife and not hand carved.
