Worn around the neck on important occasions, they signified the wearer's noble birth. The gorgets also formed part of the ceremonial attire of the island's paramount male chief (ariki mau), whose regalia reportedly included six rei miro, two worn on the chest and two hanging from each shoulder.Rei miro typically consist, as in this example, of a flat wooden crescent adorned at each end by an anthropomorphic head depicted in profile. The central portion is decorated with a shallow intaglio crescent, whose form echoes the curve of the ornament. Rapa Nui artists also created a number of variants on the rei miro image, in which other forms, such as the tails of whales, are substituted for the human heads. View more. Gorget (Rei Miro).

Second Intermediate Period When archaeologists first uncovered a group of shallow, circular graves at the site of Abydos in Upper Egypt, they designated the owners as the "pan-grave" people. The burials were accompanied by pottery of Nubian type and weapons of Egyptian manufacture. It is now generally accepted that these graves, found throughout Upper Egypt and Lower Nubia, are evidence of the nomadic Medjayu people, documented in Egyptian texts as fierce warriors who served in the Egyptian army and desert police force from the late Old Kingdom.One of the most distinctive aspects of pan-grave burials are the painted skulls of various horned animals that are found above the graves or in nearby pits. The horns and skull of this example have been decorated with large blocks and bands of red and black, and white dots have been applied to the red areas.For photographs of other examples, see 16.2.33, 16.2.35.
