Large Santiago Tablet (H, RR 9)

This is an important tablet since it covers the same text as the one which is written on the Small and Large St Petersburg tablets (Q and P). But H is somewhat longer. This three-tablet parallel text makes it possible to evaluate the types of variations which might be expected in the rongorongo texts.

Pictures (Barthel):

There are 12 + 12 = 24 rows on this tablet, which has been damaged by fire (see upper left). The type of wood is unknown.
