Hmmmm....Really?
To quantify my opinion, I'll provide some observations on the different pieces.
Here's my list of what looks different between the two carvings:
- The backs of the heads. One carver used a curved line, while the other used two straight lines meeting to form an obtuse angle.
- The concave on the backs are opposite of each other. One curves inward, the other curves outward
3.Chest line is parallel to the jaw line on one, they're at an angle on the other.
- The high ridge line on the face extends to the nose and lips on one, it ends before that on the other one
- The way the neck forms to the chest on the award one is done totally different from the other. Top one- the shoulder line is horizontal, while the other is askew.
- Arms-One has the arms at the back of the torso and they are well defined, the other is in the middle of the torso and carved with no detail
- The cheeks next to the noses are different: One straight and parallel to the nose, the other is curved to the nose.
- Ear goes to the top of the head on one, the other is below the top of the head.
9.top of the nose line is parallel to the ear on one, it's at a 45angle on the other
- The nose curves on one and forms an arc to the forehead, while the other is a continous flat line.
However, they both have glue on them, so based on that fact alone, I'm going to say that both of those pictures are of the EXACT SAME TIKI!
thanks Bay Park Buzzy... of course you're right.
please excuse my bad English :wink:
I meant not exactly the same ... only that it is quite similar, or may have the same origin, maybe.
who knows how many of those were ever carved.
a friend of mine has bought one too and that one looks slightly different.
