Who would have thought you could find 2 of these here in NZ? The condition is superb - I just washed some gunk out of the bottom of each which I'm pretty sure was the remains of the drinks that were served in them. Lots of other acqusitions, mostly retail purchases but the odd find at a good price. Unfortunately Maoriana/Kiwiana is way too popular here now and the prices have gone sky-high. 1970s(?)Maori Maiden and Maori Chief wall plaques: Tiny Tang decanter, just over 4" high: Souvenir moai from Rapa Nui, about 15" tall and beautifully carved: A couple of resin Maori figures - Pania of the Reef and a chief with tiki:
