[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 419056, member: 2844"]I'm fine with a 1938 date for this moai, and it is after all the date he acquired it. Pedro Pate, who is mentioned in the Michael Backman link, was a master carver who may not even have been carving in 1938. Other Easter Islanders carved moai as well, tourism and souvenirs provided just about the only income. Most carvers were not as good as Pate. I'd give it an oil rub.;)[/QUOTE]
