RELICS & ANTIQUITIES

Generally speaking, a relic is anything left over from before you were alive. For instance, to my children, I am a relic. Antiquities are things from so long ago that you can't figure out how many generations it's been. But seriously folks, what I'm going to try to sell here are objects handmade by humans "a long time ago." In this section will be found prehistoric artifacts, "native" manufactures from all over the world, "primitive" or "traditional" money items, and other things from the pre-electronic cultures.

I do not sell things that are obviously grave robbed and chunks of sculpture and buildings that could conceivably have been busted off of an intact object for the express purpose of selling on the antiquities market. I try to stick to whole small objects, preferably with site data. Almost everything "ancient" that I have does not come with official papers. Almost all of it, except for Pakistan and China, did not come to me from the country of origin, but rather from "old" collections. The Pakistan & China stuff came before the inception of the current restrictions.

I WILL NOT BE HANDLING IRAQI AND AFGHANI ANTIQUITIES UNTIL THE SITUATION STABILIZES
