This stone formation is man-made and is called Puo o Hiro (Hiro&#8217;s hole or trumpet). It is covered with Komari symbols (female vulvas). Its name comes from the fact that blowing through some of the holes in the stone produces a sound that can be heard from a great distance. Some Rapa Nui people are skilled at making it sound, which is no easy feat.    <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"790\" height=\"1024\" class=\"wp-image-3677\" src=\"https:\/\/moevarua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/1-5-790x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moevarua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/1-5-790x1024.jpg 790w, https:\/\/moevarua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/1-5-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/moevarua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/1-5-768x995.jpg 768w, https:\/\/moevarua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/1-5-1080x1399.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/moevarua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/1-5-600x777.jpg 600w, https:\/\/moevarua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/1-5.jpg 1980w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a unique artifact on the island, and its use is not well understood.
