Here's a link to Forest Lawn's site with a picture of Henry in the bottom right hand corner: http://www.forestlawn.com/visitors_guide/museum.asp I've got to go check this out. If nobody else knows about this and it's been off the radar, it definitely deserves some attention. As far as I know, Henry is the only authentic Moai on display in California. It may be, as the LA Natural History Museum sent theirs to a museum in New York. Now, I know this one is authentic Rapa Nui.
