I went to http://www.china.org.cn/e-sanxingdui/pic/page1.html and looked at the pictures, many of them. Some of the masks look at least superficially Mayan
and one head looked like a Mycenaeian dude with Chinese eyes.

Thanks! Very interesting. My first guess is this culture may have been linked via Mohenjo-Daro/Harappa to the Near East. Something about the spiral on the owl figure looks familiar but I can't put my finger on it--will save the pic and keep an eye out for what it's reminding me of.
