520 $aSince the time of Captain Cook's visits to New Zealand and the arrival of Maori artefacts back in Great Britain, the study of Maori material culture has established a special connection between the two countries and, even more specifically, between the British Museum and New Zealand. This volume, the much anticipated definitive catalogue of the largest Maori collection outside New Zealand and the result of over a decade's research by leading specialists from both countries, represents a continuation of that relationship and documents many items of major artistic and cultural significance.
520 $aThe substantial introduction gives a history of the study of Maori material culture and of the varied Maori collections that were acquired by the British Museum. This includes new research on previously little-known collectors that provides a fresh insight into how this iconic corpus of objects was brought together.
520 $aThe extensive catalogue describes over 2,300 objects ùincluding canoes and their paddles and equipment, storehouses, a model house, ornately carved house-posts, lintels and panels, treasure boxes, tiki, musical instruments, ceremonial and mortuary objects, weapons, tools, cloaks and baskets. It is generously illustrated with photographs of more than 800 objects, 95 of which are reproduced in colour.
520 $aThis work comprises a major monument to Maori creativity and history, and will remain an invaluable reference on the subject for generations to come. --Book Jacket.
