Moai (Easter Island) Statue Triangle Sticker

Moai (Easter Island) Statue. Makes a great gift! About moai: Moai, are monolithic human figures carved by the Rapa Nui people from rock on the Chilean Polynesian island of Easter Island between the years 1250 and 1500. Nearly half are still at Rano Raraku, the main moai quarry, but hundreds were transported from there and set on stone platforms called ahu around the island's perimeter. Almost all moai have overly large heads three-eighths the size of the whole statue. The moai are chiefly the living faces (aringa ora) of deified ancestors (aringa ora ata tepuna. The statues still gazed inland across their clan lands when Europeans first visited the island, but most were cast down during later conflicts between clans. Did you know?
