One of the few surviving examples of an uncommon form of Maori art. This is a free-standing tiki image with human hair attached to the head. It is 40cm high and probably stood inside a house as a representative of an ancestor. This sample is in the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow, Scotland. The illustration comes from “An Illustrated Guide to Maori Art,” by Terence Barrow (Methuen, 1984, 104 pp., $16.95). The book, profusely illustrated, is a clear, unpretentious guide to the appreciation of the visual arts of the Maori from the time of the first contact with Europeans.
