'Pre-Columbian' art is a broad category that encompasses the art of the indigenous peoples of North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean prior to the arrival of the Spanish at the beginning of the 16th century. The figure sculptures, made in a wide variety of media, are highly stylised and many contain some of the features seen here, although an exact parallel is hard to find. These two figures are cast in good quality bronze and were presumably intended as souvenirs of some kind. While not contemporary, the dating of these pieces is difficult and they must be assessed on their decorative appeal.
