Carved Chile Easter Hanga Moais Rapa Volcanic Scoria Topknots
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

Rockin' Red Topknots - Moais on Easter Island Show Off Their Volcanic Style!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, the majestic Moais of Ahu Hanga Poukura take center stage with their unique fashion sense. These towering stone statues from Easter Island (Rapa Nui), Chile, are known for their enigmatic presence and mysterious origins. But what truly steals the show are their vibrant topknots, also called pukaos. Carved meticulously out of red scoria or volcanic rock, these eye-catching accessories add a touch of flair to the already impressive Moais. Standing tall against the backdrop of an ancient landscape, they seem to whisper tales of a bygone era. The pukaos resemble oversized hats perched atop each statue's head, creating a striking contrast against the rugged terrain. The deep red hue stands out brilliantly against the earthy tones surrounding them. As we gaze upon this incredible image captured by Ardea Wildlife Pets Environment, we can't help but wonder about the significance behind these elaborate adornments. Were they symbols of status? Or perhaps offerings to deities? Whatever their purpose may be, one thing is certain – these Moais have definitely mastered the art of turning heads! So next time you're looking for some volcanic inspiration in your wardrobe choices, take a cue from these stylish sculptures and dare to rock your own topknot with confidence!
