🇫🇷 Inspectons les œuvres du musée avec #LouvreALaLoupe ! Aujourd’hui, focus sur cette tête de sculpture moai de l’île de Pâques (Rapa Nui), provenant du @quaibranly et installée dans la Galerie des cinq continents !
-
🗿 Il existe plusieurs types de grands moai de pierre à Rapa Nui. Beaucoup se dressaient autrefois, alignés côte à côte sur des plateformes bâties sur le rivage. - 👀 Le regard tourné vers l’intérieur des terres, ces statues monumentales veillaient sur le clan dont ils évoquaient la généalogie. - 📍 D’autres moai demeuraient sur les pentes du Rano Raraku, le volcan dont la pierre était extraite et qui semble avoir constitué en lui-même un sanctuaire.
