Moai Comb (N° 29866)

Pacific arts and protective statues of Rapa Nui.
Within the Polynesian triangle, in the Pacific Ocean, Dutch explorer Jakob Roggeveen discovered Rapa Nui in 1722 and renamed it Easter Island. Ritual ceremonies took place under the gaze of giant stone idols, moai aringa ora. Placed in family homes, sculpted figures evoking the living dead, such as this moai kavakava-type effigy adorning this comb, intervened during magical practices. Satin red-brown patina, minor losses and cracks.
