The highly stilized motives depicting horses and warriors, are quite mysterious, and full of symbol and mysticism.</p><p><br /></p><p>These particular examples are called the Bird-man, and the Tiny Dancing Man (or running warrior) carrying a Torques (ritual ring) and a snake. </p><p>On better preserved examples than these, the features and the beauty of these coins is readily evident.</p><p><br /></p><p>I thought I would share these with you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
