Maori treasure box?
« on: February 03, 2010, 07:32:21 PM »
I think I've got this right,I've also heard it called a 'feather' box? does it look original,was sold as African but the carving looks NZ to me,

Interesting page about these here Keith:
http://www.shopenzed.com/maori-wakahuia-traditional-style-treasure-box-xidp149854.html - says they were normally carved all over and hung from the ceiling...  not sure if that matches what you have?

I don't think it was finished there is carving on the back but it seems they gave up for some reason,Keith.
