COUNTRY:
Motu

DESIGN:
I was pretty excited to have a patient head to Rapa Nui ( Easter Island ).  I didn’t realize until I researched it that there are ~ 887 of these stone figures each weighing tons.  Apparently the natives had not yet discovered the wheel and so they skidded them into place.  Wow !

MAILED:
