Pitt Rivers Museum

This statue is from New Zealand. I can’t find any information about the author of the statue in the museum. But I chose this one. Because I think it is very lovely, it used exaggerated carving techniques to let the audience feel its character. Its color is very normal. His facial expression can make people feel that he is happy. It has a lot of carved decoration, including a delicate spiral pattern. Which is the Maori art? Maori Art has always been an integral component of Maori culture. Traditional Maori art was created using the materials available at the time, such as wood, bone, pounamu, paua shell, flax, and feathers. I think this wood sculpture is a perfect piece because it makes people think about the meaning of the sculpture. And it’s more interesting than many statues, less boring than others
