Images 1 thru 8 were taken with the Canon camera, they are of the subject artifact's, images 9 thru 12 were shot with the AmScope, the images are magnified and highly magnified photographs of the suspension holes, and deposits of the carvings. USPS/Canada Post Tracked Service, all artifacts are packed by the seller with great care, using the best shipping materials money can buy. Purchasers residing outside North America please advise, I have shipped to Switzerland, France, Germany, England and Russia, with no problems, tracked postal service's outside North America is usually 2 x 3 times more expensive. The artisan's who worked on these carving's spent a great deal of time polishing, the kneeling figure is very different from the funerary figure. From my collection, based on the suspension hole's, deposits, the credibility of the collector who sold these figure's too me, and the visual difference's I find while studying authentic and non authentic artifacts (with my microscope), I believe these to be authentic. Shipping cost differences above $ 4.00 Canadian will be refunded to purchaser or can be held and applied to future purchase.
