Carvings Catalogue (PDF) Factory Phone/Fax: 07 348 8587 AH: 07 332 2637 Catalogue & Pricelist Email: [email protected] 173 Lake Road, Rotorua www.woodmasters.co.nz August 2017 Over the last forty years, Wood Masters has grown to Bookmarks represent New Zealand’s unique cultural heritage... ...by successfully combining Whakairo (the Art of Maori Carving) with fine European craftsmanship. The locally trained carvers, using traditional techniques, work alongside other expert woodworkers with different technical skills. New technology is employed to complement the ancient hand skills of the carver to craft a wide range of ideas from wood. The company's extensive range includes: • traditional Maori souvenirs • 21st keys • trophies • custom- made pieces • decorative woodwork • turnery and timber machining. The ability to initiate and to respond to change has contributed to the continued success of this family-run business. New products are introduced to the range and existing items are modified and adapted where possible to satisfy customer needs without compromising the authenticity of the Maori design. The company's 001 002 003 004 005 006 015 016 wide range of experience and quality of craftsmanship has also led to their work on a wide range of heritage building restoration projects. The success of these projects and pride in their products have contributed to Wood Masters' excellent reputation in their growing markets both within New Zealand and overseas. 098 Concern for the environment and sense of Kaitiakitanga (stewardship) continues to guide the careful selection of renewable timbers from sustainably managed forests and the handling of waste products. Most carvings are Kauri, with some taiaha and clubs 030 031 032 033 Tawa. We design and manufacture here in New Zealand and have Maori carvers who do all the hand carving on our products. To avoid offending any iwi or tribal groups, the designs are generic and representative of common maori motifs. For more information on the company's products 099 see their website: www.woodmasters.co.nz Notes 1. All photographs are of actual items but due to printing processes some colour variation may occur. Similarly, while we endeavour to maintain consistency, individual pieces of wood react differently to stains used. 2. As each piece is individually carved there will be some minor variations in size and detail. 034 040 080 081 15 Miscellaneous Te ko 871 Flute 12cm x 4cm x 7cm 876 Canoe Bailer 29cm x 15cm x 10cm 770 872 Manaia Bowl Flute 28cm 12cm x 4cm x 7cm 940 Panel 50cm 977 978 974 556 557 910 914 Teko 63cm Teko 54cm Teko 43cm Teko 43cm Taiaha 153cm Taiaha 145cm Taiaha 45cm Taiaha 911 912 711 710 Teko 42cm Teko 42cm Teko 41cm Teko 38cm 14 3 Te ko Manaia 915 706 811 913 Teko 37cm Teko 36cm Teko 34cm Teko 34cm 848 847 Manaia 45cm Manaia 30cm 810 924 Teko 33cm Teko 32cm 902 Teko 30cm 705 Teko 32cm 105 704 Teko 30cm Teko 29cm 842 840 843 Matau 31cm Hook 25cm Matau S 20cm 4 13 Koru Te ko 922 104 703 702 700 801 Teko 29cm Teko 28cm Teko 28cm Teko 27cm Teko 26cm Teko 25cm 850 851 852 Koru 17cm Koru 26cm Koru 43cm Hooks 802 803 103 101 102 900 Teko 24cm Teko 24cm Teko 23cm Teko 22cm Teko 22cm Teko 22cm 845 844 708 907 709 804 905 908 106 993 991 Hei Matau XL 55cm Hei Matau 43cm Teko 17cm Teko 17cm Teko 16cm Teko 16cm Teko 16cm Teko 14cm Teko 12cm Teko 12cm Teko 8.5cm 12 5 Masks Kiwi 901 Mask 23cm 150 952 950 750 951 Kiwi 16cm Kiwi 16cm Kiwi 14cm Kiwi 11cm Kiwi 10cm 935 Mask 22cm Walking Sticks 732 Mask 43cm 130 Mask 20cm 834 Ghost Mask 18cm 938 730 Mask 28cm Mask 25cm 937 Mask 14cm 984 981 982 980 983 Walking stick Walking stick Walking stick Walking stick Walking stick 116cm 93cm 93cm 92cm 91cm 6 11 Clubs Tiki 866 Large Wahaika 50cm x 22cm x 14cm 352 945 Large Tiki 56cm Large Tiki Trophy 50cm 764 864 865 960 Club 40cm Wahaika 38cm Kotiate 32cm Club 32cm 860 Patu Base 40cm x 10cm 763 962 941 841 942 944 Club 27cm Club 26cm Tiki 35cm Tiki 27cm Tiki 27cm Tiki 14cm 10 7 Presentation Pieces 875 873 Papahou Wakahuia (Haehae) 65cm x 19cm x 14cm 37cm x 14cm x 9cm 870 Wakahuia 21cm x 10cm x 9cm 874 890 Wakahuia (Pakati) Waka Iti 37cm x 14cm x 9cm 60cm x 26cm x 7cm 547 Waka Taua 103cm x 42cm x 12cm 867 Toki Pounamu 35cm x 20cm x 5cm 8 9.

  • James Butterworth and the Old Curiosity Shop, New Plymouth, Taranaki
    Tuhinga 16: 93–126 Copyright © Te Papa Museum of New Zealand (2005) James Butterworth and the Old Curiosity Shop, New Plymouth, Taranaki Kelvin Day PO Box 315, New Plymouth, Taranaki ([email protected]) ABSTRACT: James Butterworth established a successful Mäori curio dealing business in New Plymouth during the latter part of the nineteenth century. The coastal Taranaki settlement of Parihaka was a favoured place to obtain artefacts for his shop. Butterworth produced three sales catalogues and many of the artefacts he sold carried important information regarding provenances and associations. Some of Butterworth’s artefacts found their way into the Canterbury Museum in 1896. Other items helped form the foundation of the taonga Mäori collection of the Colonial Museum, Wellington. Locating where other items, which passed through Butterworth’s shop, are now held has proved very difficult. This study highlights the need for further analysis of curio dealers who operated within New Zealand and the artefacts in which they dealt. KEYWORDS: history, James Butterworth, curio dealer, Parihaka, Canterbury Museum, Colonial Museum, New Plymouth Industrial Exhibition, New Zealand International Exhibition. Introduction nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was seen as a legitimate practice. A number of dealers operated during This paper examines the life and times of James this period, such as Eric Craig (Auckland), Edward Butterworth (Fig.1), a New Plymouth dealer of Mäori Spencer (Auckland), Sygvard Dannefaerd (Auckland and ‘curios’. Research indicates that Butterworth was the only Rotorua), and David Bowman (Christchurch), satisfying commercial dealer in Mäori artefacts to operate in the the demand of collectors like Willi Fels (Dunedin), Taranaki region and, so far as is known, he was one of Augustus Hamilton (Hawke’s Bay, Dunedin), Alexander two New Zealand dealers – the other was Eric Craig Turnbull (Wellington), Thomas Hocken (Dunedin), and (1889) – to issue sales catalogues (as opposed to auction Walter Buller (Wellington), to name but a few.

    [499] Mummification Among the Maoris. Following recent newspaper discussions, Mr. H. D. Skinner sends the following extract from a private letter from Mr. George Graham, 26th July, 1935: “I have myself seen (in situ) human bodies in the urupā (burying-place) in a perfectly preserved condition, in a sitting posture, as originally arranged after death; probably not more than a century or so in age (Kaipara, Arawa, and Kawhia). I am sure mummifying was not a Maori art, the necessary processes would be derogatory from the Maori point of view. “The nearest approach to mummification in New Zealand I ever heard of was connected with the death of Rangitihi (Arawa ancestor of Ngatirangitihi). His body was encased or folded in eight (waru) wrappings (pu), and after some years of retention for wailing over, - 190 at last consigned to the urupā. Hence the pepeha (motto) of that clan: 1. E waru nga pu-manawa a Rangitihi or 2. Rangitihi pu-manawa waru i.e.— 1. Eight were/are the bowel-bindings of Rangitihi. 2. Rangitihi (of the) eight bowel-bindings. “Why Rangitihi was thus provided for after his death is another story—but it seems to have been a historical incident—though unique of its kind. Of course there is another alleged interpretation of the term pumanawa. “The bodies I saw at a cavern urupā at Kaipara (1883 about) were all sitting around the sides of a spacious cavern vault, clothed and bedecked with feather plumes, and the tattooing (all were men) as clear and perfect as can possibly be imagined.

  • Material Culture of New Zealand
    2.3 Introduction to Pacific Review of Pacific Collections Collections: Material Culture in Scottish Museums of New Zealand Produced as part of Pacific Collections in Scottish Museums: Unlocking their knowledge and potential project 2013-2014. For full information and resources visit www.nms.ac.uk/pacific The following summary provides an overview of material you are likely to come across in Scottish collections. These are written according to island region. New Zealand/Aotearoa New Zealand has two main islands: the North Island and the South Island. In Māori these are named Te ika a Māui (the fish of Māui) and Te waka Māui (the canoe of Māui) respectively. There are a number of smaller islands off the coast and politically New Zealand encompasses the dependent territory of Tokelau, the self-governing states of Cook Islands and Niue, and the Ross Dependency in Antarctica. New Zealand was settled by Polynesians around 750 years ago from which a distinct Māori culture and identity developed. During the 19th century Aotearoa was used in reference to the North Island but today it is the name given to the whole of the country, usually translated as ‘land of the long white cloud’. The first European to visit New Zealand was Dutch explorer Abel Tasman in 1642. In 1769 Captain Cook mapped the New Zealand coastline. European settlement grew immensely with the establishment of the New Zealand Association (later the New Zealand Company) in 1837, which aimed to create a British colony in the Pacific. A series of events ultimately led to the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 proclaiming New Zealand as a British sovereignty.

Massey University Library MasseY University Library Palmerston North New Zealand & Pacific Collection :rurltea TE TOHU-A-TUU (THE SIGN OF TUU) A STUDY OF THE WARRIOR ARTS OF THE MAORI A thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of ~erofPhilosophy in Maori Studies at Massey University Hirini George Reedy 1996 11 ABSTRACT The title ''Te T ohu-a-Tuu {The Sign ofTuu)" is the name of a taiaha on-guard position that invokes Tuu, the Maori god of war. It has been chosen to reflect the subject of Maori warfare in the pre-European period. Maori warfare during this period was very much influenced by the cosmological and environmental beliefs of the Maori. These beliefs were mainly articulated through the oral histories of the Maori. Accounts of pre-European Maori warfare has mainly been written by early European historians who were greatly influenced by the prevailing social customs and intellectual thinking of the time. No linkage was made between the Maori protocols and processes of warfare with the cosmological and environmental beliefs practiced by the Maori. As a result the current understanding of Maori warfare has largely stemmed from written accounts by non-Maori. This thesis '-"<""lores Maori warfare through the institution of Tuumatauenga, the ugly faced Maori god of war. It will show the processes and the protocols that the Maori warrior used to prepare the mind and body for war and battle in the pre-European period.

  • Taiaha Weapon D1914.61 Wood, Pāua Shell on Loan from Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology
    printed object captions Please return after use Showcase 1 Left to right Pouwhenua weapon D1914.62 Wood On loan from Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology The pouwhenua is the most ancient of all the two handed weapons. The war-god Tūmatauenga killed Tūhapairangi by stabbing his spear through the back of Tūhapairangi’s head so that its point protruded though Tūhapairangi’s mouth. This is said to be the origin of its distinctive shape. The sharp point is known as the kurupā, and the carved band which provides a good grip is the tīngongi. This pouwhenua has an additional symmetrical carving design near the ate (side blades) which could also function as a grip. Fundamentally, the pouwhenua has the same functions as the taiaha. Tewhatewha weapon D1914.64 Wood On loan from Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology As a single handed weapon, this was the chief’s signaling staff; as a double handed weapon it was his quarter staff. Its unique characteristics include an axe-head shape at one end, usually adorned with an array of feathers (pohoi). Along the body (rapa) is a carved gripping piece (tīngongi), and the pointed portion is known as the ate. The flat side (kurupā) of the axe-head is used for striking and also for deflecting, while both ends were used for thrusting. Taiaha weapon D1914.61 Wood, pāua shell On loan from Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology Taiaha are one of the more common double-handed staffs. They are used for quick, sharp strikes or stabbing thrusts which require agile toroparawae (footwork).

  • Healing Maori Through Song and Dance? Three Case Studies of Recent New Zealand Music Theatre
    HEALING MAORI THROUGH SONG AND DANCE? THREE CASE STUDIES OF RECENT NEW ZEALAND MUSIC THEATRE. _________________________________ A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Theatre and Film Studies in the University of Canterbury by Emma Johnston University of Canterbury 2007 ________________ CONTENTS Abstract……………………………………………………………………………1 Introduction……………………………………………………………………….2 Chapter One: Once Were Warriors, the Musical-Drama: Healing the Urban Maori? ..................17 Chapter Two: The Whale Rider, On Stage… A journey between two worlds: Healing the Rural Maori and Saving the World? .................................................... 35 Chapter Three: Footprints/Tapuwae: Curable Maori and Incurable Pakeha? ……………………...54 Conclusion…………………………………………………………………………73 Acknowledgments....................................................................................................79 Bibliography……………………………………………………………………….80 1 ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the way “healing” may be seen to be represented and enacted by three recent New Zealand music theatre productions: Once Were Warriors, the Musical-Drama; The Whale Rider, On Stage; and Footprints/Tapuwae, a bicultural opera. This thesis addresses the ways each of these music theatre productions can be seen to dramatise ideologically informed notions of Maori cultural health through the encounter of Maori performance practices with American and European music theatre forms. Because the original colonial encounter between Maori and Pakeha was a wounding process, it may be possible that in order to construct a theatrical meeting between the “colonised” Maori and the “colonial” non-Maori, “healing” is an essential element by which to foster an idea of the post-colonial, bicultural togetherness of the nation. In all three productions, Maori song and dance forms are incorporated into a distinctive form of western music theatre: the American musical; the international spectacle; Wagnerian opera.
