Professor Arturos had reached the island late in the evening. He
could hardly run fast enough to where it had been discovered. All night
he worked, uncovering more of the rare find.
    "A series of unfortunate events must have led to this", he said. "A
poor, unlucky seaman must have eaten the seed of the Raking Weald, a
very quick growing tree, found only in this region." He went on to say
how a volcano had erupted soon after, maybe a day or two, effectively
blanketing the region with hot ash. "The Raking Weald grows in extremely
alkaline soil, even out of plain ash."
    Great care was taken in breaking the wood apart. Professor Arturos
seemed to glow from the inside as he pryed the layers apart with the
honed blade. "This is indeed an amazing find," beamed Arturos. "Only one
other like this has ever been found, and not even in such good
condition."

The head is a HamaPatch model. The ground is a single isosurface with a
matching texture.

Source is available for anyone who wants it. I might not be able to post
the head's source, though.

Any Q's or comments?
