Taonga Kahu Here's another side of the work most people don't think about. All of the skills to make the art are often lost because we fail to present them well. This requires a whole new skill set and tools to achieve the magic and takes a lot of time and effort. This is a peice of of hand shaped pakohe or argelite on a floating mount on some recovered native swamp timber. Off to the museum tomorrow. #stonework #museum #stolenfromthemuseum #art #artifact #maori #axe #tools #pakohe #stone #lapid

The visit was a chance for the artists and their whānau to connect with taonga from the Museum’s collections, such as manuscripts, photographs, and paintings. #museum #visit #moko #auckland | Auckland Museum | Facebook
