Summary

Description

The left end of the verso of rongorongo Tablet B Aruku-Kurenga. (photograph upside down)
Original legend:
A beautiful tablet from Easter Island, known as Aroukou-Kourenga or Arukukurega. It is commonly known as the “Crescent Tablet” or the “Crescent”, which is a poor choice of name since it creates the confusion discussed above between this tablet and the “crescent” tablet in Figure 152. It would be better, as noted above, to refer to it as the “Racket”. In any case, according to Father Alazard, it is 43 centimeters long and 16 centimeters wide, with ten lines on the front and twelve on the back, with a total of 1,135 signs. This tablet is in the Museum in Braine-le-Comte. The photography in Figure 155, which shows the back of the tablet, provides a very clear depiction of all the signs, without any retouching. It also shows the numbering of the lines and the direction in which each should be read. Figure 156 shows one end of the same side, actual size, in a way that allows the reader to get a very good idea of the size and features of the individual characters. Figure 157 shows the back of the same tablet, at approximately actual size (photograph form the Trocadéro Museum).
