Rapa Nui / Ilha de Páscoa Moai Kavakava Figura masculina (Sem preço de reserva)
A finely carved male figure of kneeling moai kavakava. All though the posistion of the figure is quite unusual, the figure is typically emaciated, accentuated by the prominent ribcage and protruding vertebrae carved along the backbone. The eyes with fish bone and inset obsidian eyes. The ears with plugs. Mounted on a wooden stand.
Half figures as this were made for protection and decoration for the meeting houses. Please see the last picture showing Pater Sebastian Englert standing in front of a Rapa Nui house with a similar sized and carved Moai Kavakava.
H 78 cm
Provenance :
This figure came from a danish collection of African and Oceanic art.
