Easter Island designs?

Pages: 1 6 replies

Curious if any of you know of any good resources to find Easter Island designs? I've seen the bird/birdman design am I'm wondering if there are any other types of art or images like that and if you know of good places to find that material.

Thanks.

One good source is the book Rock Art of the Easter Island: symbols of Power, Prayers
to the Gods by Georgia Lee. This is a hard book to find, Alibris has a few.
I know the book is full of designs from that era. I haven't been able to find much on the internet in the past.

This one is pretty good too... Art of Easter Island by Thor Heyerdahl

Thanks Buzzy, Ku, Bear, and hiltiki. I'll have to look into a couple of those books or see if the library has them.

-Bear- thanks for the links. I came across a few of those already and that sea creatures link is what made me want to try to find other images. That Tomkins site looks like it has some good stuff.

Haven't looked through all of it but looks like it has a lot of good information.
