Papahou (treasure box) (container (receptacle); Unknown; 1800; Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (Wellington, Welling...; WE001099) | |
Note: This papa hou (treasure box) features elaborately carved surface decorations, consisting of päkati (dog tooth pattern) notches, haehae (parallel grooves), rauru spirals, and manaia (carved beaked figures) in profile. (Rauru are rauponga - an alternating pattern of päkati notches and haehae - when used as a spiral. The design is possibly named after Rauru, who is sometimes credited with being the first carver.) The various designs interlock with each other over the whole surface area. The figures at each end are carved horizontally. One is unfinished. | |
