Description
Up for auction is a very early Maori needle in what appears to be robust bird bone.
Fine needle with singular pierced hole to one end. Shaft tapers to a sharp point with original polished surface visible. Some slight evidence of surface degradation so likely from a dune site. This needle would make a fantastic addition to any collection.
Dimensions: Length: 71mm Width: 5mm
Please note: As this taonga is registered under the Protected Objects Act, it can only be sold to a New Zealand based registered collector. Whilst this is not negotiable, I'm happy to help you through the registration process which is free and painless.
Any questions, please ask.
