An Expert Guide to the History and the Role of a Prized Jade Māori Art Form. Of all Māori personal adornments, the human figure pendants known as hei tiki are the most famous, highly prized and culturally iconic. This book examines and celebrates the long history of hei tiki and the enduring cultural potency of these taonga or cultural treasures. This first book on hei tiki for 60 years is written by the Acting Senior Curator Matauranga Māori at Te Papa, who is a hei tiki expert, and includes a large selection of hei tiki, most from the taonga Māori collections of Te Papa, whichis the largest in New Zealand and very likely the world. Many are published here for the first time, including some with exalted histories of ownership. It also covers the work of leading contemporary hei tiki makers.
