The quality of the carving and the polish on the stone head suggests a sacred use but there is no clear evidence for this. - - Mangaia, Cook Islands, POLYN, Pacific | Format: | text/html | License: | http://rammuseum.org.uk/legal | Publisher: | Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery, Exeter City Council | Rights holder: | Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery, Exeter City Council | Subjects: | Religion and magic Ethnography | Source: | Royal Albert Memorial Museum | Creator: | Not specified | Identifier: | http://rammcollections.org.uk/content/ca... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
