p. 78 · Read in the full issue
Carved form a solid blick of wood about three feet in firth and four feet high, this three-headed statue, housed in the Fiji Museum, Suva, evokes inquries from many visitors.
A four-line entry in the Museum's recirds mereky states that the statue was acquired in 1912. There is on record of its date or origin, but it is said ti be the work of a Fijian seer of ols who had a vision of the comong of (1) Europeans, (2) Christianity, and (3) Law-hence the three heads of the statue.
The heads are obviously not represen tations of Fijiens or other Islanders, and this perhaps is its strangest aspect.-
