The 8 ft Moai that Leroy carved for me out of a dead tree in my front yard in 1994 has such a "secret" birdman carving on the back/side. One has to squeeze into the bushes to see it. It's cool, because the Tiki looks very simple and grand from the front, without the ornate "secret" carving disturbing that elegance. Virani, sorry, I don't have a scanner...and if I'd start posting pics on top of text, I would never get off TC.
