Note: This tekoteko (carved gable figure) is from the apex of a whare (house). It is approximately 650 millimetres in height, with a dark brown patina. It consists of an ornately carved ancestral figure represented in a naturalistic form positioned upon another ancestral figure with a naturalistic body, wheku-style head, and two three-fingered hands clasped to the mouth. The base figure is perforated for lashing to the gable of a small whare or pataka (storehouse). This secondary figure's feet terminate in a third form, possibly a head, which would have been viewed from beneath. | |
