EDITORS COMMENTS
This ancient and enigmatic figure, known as Moai Kavakava, is believed to have been carved during the 1830s on the remote Easter Island in the Pacific Ocean. The exact creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, as does the specific meaning behind its intricate design. Carved from wood, bird bone, obsidian, and traces of pigment, this sculpture is a testament to the remarkable artistic achievements of the Rapa Nui people. Moai Kavakava, which translates to "long-eared ancestor," is one of three similar figures in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection. Each figure features an elongated head, large ears, and a prominent nose, characteristic of the iconic moai statues that have made Easter Island famous. The figure's eyes are inlaid with obsidian, adding depth and intensity to its expression. The 19th century Moai Kavakava is a valuable addition to the museum's extensive collection of Pacific art and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Rapa Nui people. The figure's intricate carvings and use of natural materials demonstrate the skill and creativity of the ancient artisans who crafted it. The Moai Kavakava figure is a powerful reminder of the past and the enduring influence of the arts and traditions of the Pacific region. Its presence in the museum invites visitors to explore the history and stories behind this fascinating and enigmatic figure, and to appreciate the beauty and significance of the art of the Pacific Islands.
