Descripción: Catalogue event: Description (Physical description) Moai tanagata. These figures can be male or female- this is male. Carved using nineteeth century techiniques and styles with inlaid shell eyes- no obsidian remains. The base of the feet are rounded indicating it was suspended form the house and hung around the body like a bandolier for ceremonies, rather than carved for sale.
