This tiki, reputed to have been made in Canterbury 400 years ago by Chief Mahutaiterangi, has been returned to Christchurch for only the second time. It is an heirloom of the Ngati Porou, one of the tribes of the east coast of the North Island. Mrs M. Nihoniho (above) brought it to Christchurch from Auckland and wore it for a Royal occasion last week at which Prince Charles remarked on it as “a beauty.”
