Description

Secondhand. First edition.

Maori carving is the writing of a people who never needed a written language. All the national conceptions of ancestor respect and allegiance, man's struggle to choose between good and evil, love of children, pride, suffering and defiance are there to be read by the initiated.

Maori Carving Illustrated is an essential source of information about the development and features of Maori wood carving. It has been reprinted 12 times since its publication in 1955.
