"Seated Divinity" (pictured) a Mayan-style statue recently sold in Paris for a record €2.9m/ $4.13 million usd.
The 5-foot warrior with axe and shield was described as possibly 1,400 years old.

All this come less than two months into France's Year of Mexico...and a few months after Mexico ended tense negotiations over the release of Florence Cassez, 36, a French woman jailed for 60 years for kidnapping, angering French President Sarkozy.
Mexican authorities are also opposed to the sale of its antiquities...and demand their return.
