Pou Hakanononga - A statue from Easter Island

In 1934-1935, a major ethnographic and archeological expedition to Rapa Nui (Easter Island) was organised by the Musée de l'Homme in Paris and the  Royal Museums of Art and History in Brussels. In addition to the important scientific data recorded, the mission also led to the donation to Belgium of a statue (moai) called Pou Hakanononga, which is now known to be one of the oldest produced on the island. 3
