Hoa Hakananai'a
Hoa Hakananai'a is a ''moai'' (Easter Island statue) housed in the British Museum in London. It was removed from ‘Orongo, Rapa Nui (Easter Island) in November 1868 by the crew of the British ship , and arrived in England in August 1869. Though relatively small, it is considered to be typical of the island’s statue form, but distinguished by carvings added to the back, associated with the island birdman cult. It has been described as a "masterpiece", "without a doubt, the finest example of Easter Island sculpture".
== Etymology ==
The statue was identified as Hoa Hakananai'a by islanders at the time it was removed, the British crew first recording the name in the form Hoa-haka-nana-ia or Hoa-haka-nama-ia. It has been variously translated from the Rapa Nui language (Polynesian) to mean ''breaking wave'', ''surfriding'', ''surfing fellow'' or ''master wave-breaker'';〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.osterinsel.de/35-rapanui-sprache-n.htm )〕 and ''lost or stolen friend'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=512302&partId=1 )〕 ''stolen friend'' or ''hidden friend'' or ''doing robberies/mockeries friend''.
