• Oc1869,1005.1 @britishmuseum
• Ancestor figure 'moai', called Hoa Hakananai'a (hidden or stolen friend) made of basalt.
  Images relating to the bird man religion (tangata manu); birds, dance paddles in the form of stylizes human figure, a ring and a girdle design are carved in relief on the back of the figure's head and body.
  • Made by Rapanui, 1200 AD (approx)
  • Made in Rano Kao, Rapa Nui
  • Carved from Basalt, previously painted and inlaid (with coral eyes)
• Curator's comments:
  • It is understood that large stone sculptures or moai were made on Rapa Nui between AD 1100 and 1600. The size and complexity of the moai increased over time, and it is believed that Hoa Hakananai'a dates to around AD 1200. It is one of only fourteen moai made from basalt, the rest are carved from the island’s softer volcanic tuff.
  • This statue would have originally stood on a specially-built platform on the sacred site of Orongo. It would have stood with giant stone companions, their backs to the sea, keeping watch over the island.
  • Its eyes sockets were originally inlaid with red stone and coral and the sculpture was painted with red and white designs, which were washed off when it was rafted to the ship, to be taken to Europe in 1869. Over a few hundred years the inhabitants of this remote island quarried, carved and erected around 887 moai.
  • Around AD 1500 the practice of constructing moai peaked, and from around AD 1600 statues began to be toppled, sporadically. The island’s fragile ecosystem had been pushed beyond what was sustainable. Over time only sea birds remained, nesting on safer offshore rocks and islands. As these changes occurred, so too did the Rapanui religion alter – to the birdman religion.
