Maori is really rich for its art, carvings, moko or any fields of culture. You lucky to have been there. This carved mask is just amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Hello great mask , I purchased one of Johns while in Queenstown . It stands about 450 high and is suspended in a stainless moon and mounted on a large greenstone rock . It is carved both sides and turns within the mount so one day you can appreciate one side and then for a change you can turn stand appreciate the other. If you would like to see a photo please email me at ianpenny@homail.com cheers

Stumbled on your blog while net surfing. The mask stikes me as a not just a thing of beauty but a good investment. Quality artwork always stands out. Word of John Collins work is spreading. An artist of note. Thanks for the interesting blog.

hi ive always felt a sense of sadness when i see shops selling maori art,and behind the counter is a asian,please nz place maori back ,to explain and share culture with those interested in maori art and culture,when i visited tepapa i was shocked to see indians at the door,i feel maori should and could take a more active role in introduceing the culture,just some thoughts

This can make a beautiful tattoo. It reminds me of some ancient African face carvings.
