Description:

Pre-Columbian, Panama, Ca 500 to 1000 CE. Rare and wonderful pair of pottery stamps - thought to be used on clothing and people - and even possibly used to mark bread, much as the Roman bronze bread stamps from the great Roman Empire. First example is on the form of a foot (reptilian or human) with large circular stamp on the working end. The other example has the head of a bird emerging as the handle, a deeply recessed cross-hatch as the stamp. 2-1/2"H for tallest and 2-3/8" W for widest.
