Even more impressive he called the shot. By copying China's "Mona Lisa", if he accidently cuts off the head of one of the 550 people or their livestock, he can't just eliminate that person/critter and say that's what he intended to do.
I've gone to the link, and the links from the link, and the links from there. I went to the records site, and searched Google, but nowhere does it tell me what kind of tree that is. What's the wood?
Kind of looks like Teak or Padauk, but it could be a hundred other woods, some hard and some soft... it makes a big difference whether he should get sainthood or merely worshipped.
