• Descripción: On the Easter Island figures, see Adrienne Kaeppler in 'Res', XLIV 2003, who catalogues 72 early Easter Island figures. She included a seventh figure from Cuming. This is a special case and does not belong to his 1831 gift. See the record for Oc1933,1014.1. Note added to slip (July 1974): "Wood identified as probably Samtawn wood by Dr L Scamperle of the Universidad Catolica Valparaiso, Chile."
