EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a selection of intricately carved Maori tools and weapons from New Zealand, as depicted in Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, published in Florence, Italy, in 1844. The image, hand-coloured and created through copperplate engraving by Sasso, highlights the rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess of the Maori people. At the center of the print, an axe is displayed with elaborate carvings adorning its body. The Maori axe, or "patu paraoa," was a versatile tool used for both combat and woodworking. The intricate designs on this particular axe reflect the deep significance of Maori art and craftsmanship. To the left, a fish knife, or "tiki," is displayed. The fish knife was an essential tool for the Maori people, who relied heavily on fishing for sustenance. The knife's intricate carvings not only serve an aesthetic purpose but also hold spiritual significance. Finally, a beautifully carved wooden box is presented on the right side of the print. The box, or "pounamu," was a valuable possession among the Maori people, often used to store and transport precious treasures. The intricate carvings on the box demonstrate the high level of skill and creativity of the Maori artisans. This print offers a rare glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Maori people and their intricately carved tools and weapons. The elaborate carvings not only serve functional purposes but also hold deep spiritual significance, reflecting the deep connection between the Maori people and their environment.
