Easter Island Statuary: Two Carved Figures
Two elongated carved figures rise above a sloping foreground, their prominent noses, eyes and narrow bodies shown from different angles. The caption identifies Easter Island statuary, and the drawing is signed Churchward with the date 1925. The reproduction belongs to his account of Pacific remains; its presence does not establish the lost-continent connections he proposes.
