Century old Maori carving completed after 115 years gifted to British people

from Culture 101

Last month, a century-old Maori carving was restored and gifted to the British people. Carved originally in 1910, by master carver Tene Waitere, the pou was completed by his great-great-great grandson, Robert Schuster Rika, to honour the legacy of the first indigenous woman to study at Oxford University.
