    Maya Serpentine Mask of the god Kinich Ahau. Carved from a single piece of serpentine stone with shell eyes detailed with cinnabar.

    In defense of the game: they have a perfectly good explanation for that and Lara makes remarks about that several times when looking at items or walking through the levels.

    Yeah, the explanation didn't really work for me, but I understand what the game designers were going for.

    Really enjoyed how beautiful the game looked though

    And a beautifully painted one: "Chupicuari Shell Trumpet" from 300-900 AD

    Note the little snakes painted on the side!

    And lastly, two ear-flares (earrings?) made with bits of jade in the shape of a bird's eye:

    Mini carving; pretty sure it is a modern recreation.

    A few more carvings:

    Looks like a Pre-Classic carving, from Kaminaljuyu or something Olmec:

    olmevsd.jpg

    Not sure about this one either, it almost looks like a modern reproduction? Maybe Aztec?

    65c0b110f4734a3b88b0a68fc59ed1e3.jpg

    Some faces, also looking more modern to me like Art Deco:
