We have received an Easter Island wood tablet with carved hieroglyphs.  I am
trying to find any information on these and, in particular, a source that
could evaluate one.  We have searched back many years in the auction
catalogues and cannot find one that was ever sold.   Is there anybody out
there who knows about these -  my only source to date is a wonderful 1891
publication put out by the Smithsonian Institution by William J. Thomson
called "Te Pito Te Henua, or Easter Island".
Please reply off list.

Thanks
