要約:This paper presents a detailed analysis of 29 casts of inscribed tablets from Easter Island in the collections of musée du quai Branly. The major number of the casts covers the tablets from the Congregations of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary (Rome). Two sets of casts document Saint Petersburg tablets. The remaining casts represent two Washington tablets, two Vienna tablets, two Santiago tablets as well as two artefacts from the British Museum (London tablet and Small London reimiro), and a cast of now-lost Lateran tablet. We discuss in detail the casts that are unique for the collection – the replica of Large Vienna tablet that displays more glyphs than the present-day artefact, and the cast of Lateran tablet. It was also shown that the cast of Small Santiago tablet is not faithful to the original but rather made after artistic reproduction of the tablet based on the tracings published in 1875 by Philippi.
