This tourist statue is in excellent condition except that it is missing the black pupils in its eyes (shark vertebra) and is from the 1970s. It is hand-carved from a single piece of native timber and intricately decorated. It measures 13in tall, 5in wide, and 2in deep. It comes from a pet-free, smoke-free home. Be sure to check out my other auctions as I have other Polynesian/Melanesian/Micronesian/PNG items listed. US bidders preferred but will ship internationally using Global Shipping Program. International bidders must message me first as I do not ship to all countries and will have to get you a quote for shipping (the above estimate is for domestic shipping).Please wait for invoice before paying because the above shipping is an estimate.

Payment must be received within 3 days of when invoice is sent. Thanks! The Tangata manu ( bird-man ) was the winner of a traditional competition on Rapa Nui ( Easter Island ).
