                of the Bird Man - Easter Island 
 References 
                  to the strange bird cult of Easter Island are numerous in the 
                  native art. A remarkable example is this strange representation 
                  of the bird man holding an egg in his hand carved upon a block 
                  of stone, itself egg-shaped. The wooden club above represents 
                  the fish man, but the blade of the weapon is adorned with numerous 
                  figures of the bird man in various attitudes. From
