Mantas don't have a 3 piece tail fin, especially one sticking upwards.
Funny when I look at the photo I linked to, the mantas do indeed have fins pointing straight up.

The big problem I see is this:
If archeologists can find these golden figures of aircraft, why on earth can't they find the actual aircraft? Surely the pre-Columbian natives kept their airplanes out in the open somehwere, parked next to a temple or something?
Perhaps they're just ornaments. Why can't ancient people be fanciful?

looks like thatI doubt the jeweller had a chance to get up close and personal with the plane. I doubt he took measurements and made his replica to scale or as an exact copy.
On the other hand, he may have been using a few of those coca leaves and astral travelled into the future to have a look around and took a fancy to something he saw there and when the trip was over, replicated his vision in gold.

Just using my imagination, it looks like a deer or something, facing us, with big feet.
Which is the point...an artist interprets natural things in all types of ways. As there is no other evidence in existence that this culture interacted with Aliens and Their Magical Air Machines, it is most likely an interpretation of a fish or ray.
Why does the answer have to go to the improbable and impossible when the probable can be so much more interesting?

Because it opens the "possibility" of no Nibbler intervention on Earth, which means that we are a product of *gasp* evolution!
