Sales pitch (Japanese)
- Text: “何かを守るように並んで配置された石像の１つ。巨石文明の存在を示す証拠といえよう。（……かどうかは不明。でも世の中ハッタリが大切です。）”
- Translation: “One of a series of stone statues placed side by side as if protecting something. It is evidence of the existence of a megalithic civilization. (...Whether that is true or not is unknown. But bluffing is important in this world.)”

- The Priceless Statue and the Worthless Statue, despite their names, share the same Poko value.
