Keep away evil spirits - a photo on Flickriver

             The civilization of the Easter Island is known for the giant sculptures of moais, but it seems that they also carved the wood. Unfortunately, only a few pieces still remain. This is an example of Kava Kava moais (“statues with ribs”) that the islanders used to carve out of wood and hang on the inside of their front doors to keep away evil spirits.
