A lot of nine ancient stone and pottery beads and talisman from the Los Barrancos culture of Venezuela , South America, dating back to 1000 BC to possibly 1000 AD.  Note that one object appears to be a stone carved ear?  a magic talisman perhaps , another is a stone pendant as well as flint? stones and various hand carved stone beads. Very little is known of the mysterious Barrancas peoples, their pottery is the only remaining evidence of this ancient culture.  This lot of relics was excavated in the Barrancos region by a museum curator Paul Hendricks in 1965 and was exhibited for over 30 years at the Museum of Oddities in Metamora, Indiana, until it closed in 2018.  The  largest piece measures 3 inches across.
