Vintage Rapa Nui Moai 

Ready for Shipment

This solid hardwood vintage Moai kavakava / Rapa Nui was hand sculpted in the early first quarter of the 1960s.

For most, the mention of Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, the small, isolated island more than 2,000 miles off the coast of South America, conjures images of giant statues known as moai.

Measurements are approximately 10 inches in height, 2 inches wide, and 3 inches deep.

Additional note: Wood to carve this collector’s item by the Islanders was not available. The island was mostly cleared of all timber. The hardwood to hand-sculpt this figure was provided by my friend on a special assignment on the island in early 1960. Payment for the carved figure was bartered with candy and soft drinks. Very few were carved in 1960. With that being stated, this is a collector’s item!!

Thanks for viewing and consideration of the purchase of the collector special wood carving!
