From what I've seen these are fantasy pieces.

Are you sure it is fantasy and not simply fake, as the TENO must have had some sort of belt buckle

Very bad Fake.

Just seen one of these fakes sold for $400 by a reputable dealer. Another obvious thing is the head of the supposed eagle head. Looks more like a chicken.
