Catalogue Note
hei tiki, sculpté dans un jade marbré d'une très belle épaisseur, la puissance de la tête accentuée par les yeux rehaussés de cire rouge. Il a conservé sa cordelette et son fermoir en os d'oiseau, tel qu'il fut reproduit par Buxton en 1929 (The Pitt-Rivers Museum Farnham : General Handbook, pl. XVII). Au dos, une inscription à l'encre jaune du Pitt-Rivers Museum indique : Tiki New Zealand. B Fonton. May 1897. P1512.
