The Canterbury Museum receptionist, Sally Barrage, uses her hand to give a size comparison with the largest moa egg to be found in New Zealand. The egg, part of a special display on archaeological research at Kaikoura set up at the museum, was found in 1857 at the Fyffe moa hunter site. It has been lent by the National Museum in Wellington. The display will remain in the museum’s foyer until the end of December.
