These Maori Dolls of New
Zealand are dressed in
a likeness to the traditional Maori costume.
The dressing of the Maori was an intricate handcraft, with differing designs
according to the tribe and the ranking within the tribe. Headbands and Bodices
were woven in different patterns and designs according to tribe. The Piu Piu,
skirts made of flax, were carefully scraped to form a pattern, then dyed in
the mud pools. Cloaks were made of various materials according to climate
and ranking in the tribe, and personal adornments of bone, greenstone and
the art of the Moko (carving of the face) were common place. Great New Zealand Souvenirs & Gifts. All displayed prices exclude GST and are therefore TAX FREE for Overseas Destinations. Orders within New Zealand will have GST added at the shopping cart.
