Well, knowing Mum, it might be another 4 years before anything happens with the hei-tiki. It needs some serious restoration, and I guess she will need to decide how best to part with it. I would not let her dare get rid of it if was my Mom. I'd make sure it stayed in the family, (with me most likely). Especially since you appreciate Tiki today. It's a wonderful piece and a great story. Imagine how nice it would look in a shadowbox frame with a couple of those pictures. I would not even try to fix the break, I'd secure it safely in a frame the way you photographed it. The damage is part of it's history and the narrative. Thanks for sharing. -Duke
