[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 419177, member: 301"]Like I said , I'm no book learned expert...but I've held a few of these. I like to use the spine to tell me about age and finesse of the carving. Notice that yours and Drew's has a somewhat similar treatment...but your ribs and shoulders are much finer. Read Tribals take on this one....which they say is the same 30's age. There are many of these tourist carvings out there...as opposed to the authentic ones carved when Easter Island still had trees. It can get confusing to put an exact age.....but I still feel Drew's is more 50's than 30's. [URL]http://www.tribalmania.com/EASTERISLANDMOAI.htm[/URL][/QUOTE]
