Title: What Is This Eskimo Statue
Post by: crankitup on April 11, 2011, 12:36:56 pm

Can anyone identify this statue.?
It was found in a garden bed in Honiara, Solomon Islands.
It seems to be made of an alloy or metal and roughly 45 cm tall

There doesn't appear to be any markings on this statue. One other detail I forgot to mention though was that you can see some wire reinforcement half way down the zip line and near the shoulders. That statue itself is also hollow inside.
