Summary

Description
English: Pu o Hiro (translation: Trumpet of Hiro) is an ancient stone aerophone (1.25 meters high) on the northern coast of Easter Island (aka Isla de Pascua, Rapa Nui). It has small fertility symbols and holes. It was used as a musical instrument in fertility rituals by the Rapa Nui inhabitants. By blowing through the main hole it creates a deep, trumpeting sound to invoke Hiro, the god of rain in Polynesian mythology.

Il présente de petits symboles de fertilité et des trous. Il était utilisé comme instrument de musique lors des rituels de fertilité par les habitants de Rapa Nui.

Es hat kleine Fruchtbarkeitssymbole und Löcher. Es wurde von den Bewohnern von Rapa Nui als Musikinstrument bei Fruchtbarkeitsritualen verwendet.
