The A'a statue on Lulutu Island is a wooden sculpture of the A'a god, made on the Pacific island of Lulutu in the Australian archipelago. The production period may have been between 1591 and 1647. In the early 19th century, this sculpture was given to the London Missionary Society by islanders to commemorate their conversion to Christianity. Afterwards, it was brought back to the UK and exhibited at the British Museum. The image of A'a is one of the best surviving works of Polynesian sculpture, and according to Julie Adams, director of the Oceanian Collection at the British Museum, in the 21st century, the sculpture is considered an "international celebrity".
