Some valid parameter. This piece I own came from Hawaii to Madrid in the early 1960's It is in a very good condition because it wasn't moved from it's fake fountain grotto scenario for more than 40 years... that's important because this specimens are very fragile, so I bet most of them turned into NADA or are already in the process of. It is this kind of "scientific approach" that I am talking about. That's the value we can quantify to get some idea of it's material value... If you think of all the sentimental and historical reasons why that tiki is valuable is another thing completely. Also, I truly think it's the only one of it's kind that made it's way to Europe. How much would it be to ship it back to Hawaii nowadays?
