Carvings
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.
