Flynny's Stuff - Strange lookin Moai 02/5 - Tiki Carving

I think this might have challenged Tama & Paipo for the smallest carving. The Moai is approx 10mm high, it's carved where the attractor bit would be. The red stain by the carving is where I tied red dyed Deer hair to look like the original hooks which would have had originally, Pigs hair as an attractor. The pattern was taken from a 1928 study of Polynesian fish hooks. Thanks once again for looking, all comments welcome. Regards Flynny
