  Fine Wakahuia
  Fine carving displayed throughout the entire form of the treasure box. Complex triple haehae patterns are interlaced with fine graduating pakati (dog tooth notching). The base is guarded by two opposing upward facing tiki which offer accentuated foreheads and paua inset eyes. The entire tiki forms are finely detailed with each extending the tongue back into the base. The overall carving style suggests both purposeful balance and organic symmetry. Recently repatriated from the United States, this fine example was created by a highly skilled master carver.
  L.600mm, W.95mm, H.95mm.
