Moai kavakava : ウィキペディア英語版 | Moai kavakava
A mo‘ai kavakava is a small wooden figure of a standing, slightly stooped male with an emaciated body. These figures originate from Rapa Nui (Easter Island). The name ''mo‘ai kavakava'' is formed from ''mo‘ai'' for the monumental monolithic human figures found on Easter Island and the word ''kavakava'' meaning ribs. Little is known about the cultural context of these figures although they are generally considered to be representations of starving ancestors or demons. It is believed these figures were worn hanging around the neck of the men who took part in the ritual dances during public ceremonies. German Expressionist Max Ernst was inspired by these figures and their rituals, and they can also be found in the collections of the French surrealist André Breton. == References ==
