Around 890 monumental stone sculptures of various sizes can be found on Easter Island. The Rano Raraku volcano was their sacred place of origin. The age of the Moais cannot be determined with certainty. Archaeologists agree that Easter Island was colonised around the 4th or 5th century AD and that the indigenous people began to build altars and the first statues relatively quickly after this. The moais with round or square heads and eye sockets are thought to have been created from around the 12th to 13th century AD, while the more modern moais (mainly at Rano Raraku) were created from around the 15th/16th century AD. A moai figure for the garden by Asiastyle The moai sculpture was made from high-quality cast stone using the hollow casting process to save weight. Originals made from solid stone serve as a model. In an elaborate work process, each sculpture is finished by hand. The colouring may vary and fade due to weathering. A Moai enriches your garden with its interesting and mysterious facial expression.
