<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 86306, member: 55"]Yes, that one is quite similar to the ones I recall, really very good, from the front. Many aspects are quite correct, nice-shaped U-forms, good taper to the form-lines, good balance of positive and negative areas, and the rules on concentricity are followed. Nice relief in the mustache. The ovoids on the tips and cheeks are a little loose, but there are natives whose ovoids are equally loose.</p><p> If honestly sold, and someone wanted to put it on their wall, I'd say it is a pretty good introduction to NW Coast native style. They might outgrow it; but it is more correct than the things Freddy Fencepost does, at least.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
