Moai from Easter Island - Louvre Museum
4 months ago
22
"It was sculpted in a block of stone taken from the quarry of the Rano Raraku volcano, it probably originated from a statue measuring a total of 5 meters high, and vestiges of a natural white dye could be identified. Moai, perhaps divine representations of the ancestor of the clan, figures of great ancestors, were placed on ceremonial platforms (ahu), where burials had been carried out. Elongated and low fronts were oriented towards the populations over which they exercised a form of protective authority." France Culture
