Moai

A maxi card from France with a Moai statue. Moai are monolithic human figures carved from tuff, solidified volcanic ash, by the Rapa Nui people between the years 1250 and 1500. They are found on Easter Island in the South Eastern Pacific, the world’s most remote inhabited island. The statues were symbols of religious and political authority and power, representing former tribal chiefs. Much of the island is protected within Rapa Nui National Park.
