This is a faceless, streamlined, standing figure with no feet. Based on original wooden images, dinonga eidu, which were important in the pre-Christian religion of Nukuoro Atoll, a Polynesian outlier in the Eastern Caroline Islands. Probably fewer than 20 of these original wooden images are still in existence in museums. They were regarded as representations of individual deities, and at certain times of the year were adorned with fresh garments and presented with offerings in the form of fresh coconuts and other fruits.
