These belong to the genre of tourist art, also called airport art, and, I regret to inform you, are not exactly the finest example of Maori craftsmanship. |

Meadswood was a company around in the 1960s/1970s and they made touristy tiki carving stuff. If you type in "Meadswood" and "Maori" in Google Images you will see some of their other designs. |
