The sculpture is enormous! The shear mass of the stone takes your breath away when standing next to it. The Moai sculpture was designed after the Moai replica in the Museum of Natural History in New York City.
The history of Easter Island is rich and controversial. Its inhabitants have endured famines, epidemics, civil war, slave raids and colonialism, and near deforestation; their population has declined precipitously more than once. They have left a cultural legacy that has brought them fame disproportionate to their population.
The large stone statues, or Moai, for which Easter Island is world-famous, were carved from 1,100-1,680 CE. A total of 887 monolithic stone statues have been inventoried on the island and in museum collections so far. Although often identified as "Easter Island heads", the statues are actually complete torsos, the figures kneeling on bent knees with their hands over their stomachs. Some upright Moai have become buried up to their necks by shifting soils.
About Pink Granite: Pink granite is seldom used in sculpture in south India. Lotus Sculpture has acquired pink granite stone solely for a limited number of Moai statues. The Moai's smooth surfaces really show off the beauty of the stone. Like Indian black granite it is possible to see 4-5 different colors on a single piece depending on the degree of polish or roughness of the stone. The stone is extremely hard and durable and can be left outside in extreme heat and extreme cold for years without care.

Soap and warm water is the best way to maintain the statue. You can use a small brush to get into the small crevices of the statue like the hands and hair.
Granite's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate. The stone can stand up to the harshest conditions of heat and bitter cold. We suggest you bathe the sculpture at least once a year so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture. This will maintain the sculpture for your grandchildren and then their grandchildren!
