Two gold pendants depicting shamans, of obscure origin; the museum web site says only "Central or South America, c. 100-900 AD."
Headdress ornaments, also obscure. A lot of this stuff must come from oil barons who bought it from dealers in the 1920s, before export controls.
"Whistle in the Shape of a Bird Man," says the catalog. Dancer? Eagle Warrior? Probably Mexico, probably AD 600 to 900.
Stucco Maya head, AD 600 to 900. Lots more at the Museum web site.
