these artifacts are from the country of columbia and are from my friends father in laws farm and i thought i would share them with the community . The first one is a jadeite celt the second is a highly engraved spindal whorl and the thrid is the most beautiful frog effigy pot i have ever seen !!! these were gifted to me a couple of years back and i thought joshua might like to see them since you are in south america right now. enjoy !!!

Always love seeing nice relics! Those are three very nice pieces.

The Calima lasted from 500 ad or so, right through the Spanish colonization. They also used a lot of gold, your friends in-laws farm would probably be a fun place to metal detect!
