This piece was originally acquired through auction 30 years ago. It has been in storage since then as it was purchased for a new showroom that never actually eventuated.

It depicts the rich cultural heritage of Maoridom. As we decode these symbols, it showcases a story woven into the fabric of Maori tradition, to be retold through the timeless language of art.

The measurements are; 1290 mm length 950 mm height

Has damage to the board it is attached to. This was done prior to our purchase. The panels or painted panels are placed onto of the backing board. There is some minor damage on one of the panels - we have been quoted to repair and replace the backing board …I personally envisage the painting being reframed with a white background to really enhance and add another dimension to this stunning painting.

Two panels sit either side of the center panel. These panels could be removed from the wooden frame- which is extremely heavy and remounted on a more aesthetically appealing frame to enhance its design and overall appearance.
