Detail of the emaciated figure "mo'ai kavakava" from Easter Island (UNESCO World Heritage). Here the turtle on the head is easier to see. The elongated ears are also striking. Turtles can even be seen among the animal depictions in rock carvings. Similar objects can be found in the Vatican collection and in the Museum Fünf Kontinente, Munich (there with a lobster on the top of the skull). Easter Island is a remote volcanic island in Polynesia and belongs to Chile.
