Description
This is a very special auction featuring two Easter Island moai kavakavas and one classic Nukuoro figure.
The larger less traditional Easter Island kavakava figure is the oldest piece. One eye is damaged, one foot has damage causing one leg to be shorter than the other, and there are a few old splits in the wood. It measures 16 inches tall and shows carving and file marks and weighs a bit.
The smaller Easter Island kavakava is early 20th century and is finely carved without any obvious damage. It stands 14 1/2 inches tall and is truly a centerpiece. The Nukuoro figure is also 20th century I believe and pretty scarce. I have been ebaying for over 15 years and have never seen another. The dimension and proportions of the head, torso, and legs are correct and it shows fine file marks. It measures 18 inches tall. Auction is for all three pieces plus a bonus massim piece unshown.
