Rongorongo text J
Text J of the rongorongo corpus, also known as (London) reimiro 1, is the larger of two inscribed reimiro in London and one of two dozen surviving rongorongo texts. It is also the shortest text in the corpus, being only two glyphs long.
J is the standard designation, from Barthel (1958). Fischer (1997) refers to it as RR20.
British Museum, London. Catalog # AOA 6847.
A prototypical two-headed Rapanui reimiro, or ceremonial crescent-shaped gorget/epaulet, 73 × 13.2 cm, of unknown wood. There are a few worm trails, but it is in excellent condition. The two holes top center were used to hang it from clothing.
Two glyphs are cut into the top center of the front, between the two holes used to hang it.
The British Museum catalog states:
A label on the back reads:
Fischer says that the phrase "the master of a vessel" suggests that it was acquired before the Chilean slaving raids of 1862-63, probably during the 1820s to 1840s, the most active whaling period in the South Pacific.
