  • Reimiro
rdfs:comment
  • Each side of the reimiro ended in a human head. The outer, display side had two small pierced bumps through which a cord was strung for hanging it. The inner side contained a cavity that was filled with chalk made from powdered seashells. A reimiro provides the image of the Easter Island flag. It also appear to feature in the rongorongo script of Easter Island, and one of them is preserved with a long rongorongo text.

  • Each side of the reimiro ended in a human head. The outer, display side had two small pierced bumps through which a cord was strung for hanging it. The inner side contained a cavity that was filled with chalk made from powdered seashells. A reimiro provides the image of the Easter Island flag. It also appear to feature in the rongorongo script of Easter Island, and one of them is preserved with a long rongorongo text. Although the human heads on the reimiro are unique to Easter Island, the pectoral itself is part of a wider tradition. In the Solomon Islands, for example, women wear shell pectorals which resemble reimiro.
