A final variant in the design of first ancestor representation is found in the Kai islands. Traditionally, the effigy of the founder or protector of the village community could be found in the centre of the village beside a large offerings stone. Unfortunately, not many examples of these statues - called sedeu in the local language - have survived. We know from sources that on many Kai islands statues relating to an ancestor cult had all but disappeared as long as a century ago.
