L11: 9d MAORI PANEL

9d-block-of-21-showing-black-bars

 

This design is a modification of a design adopted by Maori for the ornamentation of the sliding panel which the designer used as a door, “tatau” employing his favourite colourings of red white and black. The Maori works on a general theme, but it is seldom that two designs are exactly alike, the details varying with the individual artist.

Artist: Mr I.F.Calder, Wellington  Colour: Carmine and black
