About 890 monumental stone sculptures of different sizes can be found on Easter Island.The volcano Rano Raraku was their sacred place of origin. How old the moais are cannot be determined with certainty. Archaeologists agree that Easter Island was settled around the 4th or 5th century AD and that the indigenous people began to complete altars and the first statues relatively quickly after this. The moais with round or square heads and eye sockets are thought to have been made from about the 12th to 13th century AD, the more modern moais (mainly at Rano Raraku) from about the 15th/16th century AD. A Moai figure for the garden by Asiastyle This planter is made of concrete and earthenware using the so-called dry casting method. Very little liquid is used in the process, which gives the lantern its characteristic rough surface, similar to that of a natural stone. After the usual steps of casting, the contours of the vessel are reworked and finished by hand. All sculptures made of moulded stone are absolutely frost-proof and can be used outdoors all year round. A Moai enriches your garden with its interesting and mysterious facial expression.
