EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the essence of Maori culture in New Zealand, featuring a Te Arawa woman from the Rotorua and Bay of Plenty regions, holding a traditional Maori Greenstone Pounamu Mere Club. Dating back to circa 1910, this image offers a rare glimpse into the rich heritage of the Maori people. The woman, adorned in traditional Maori attire, exudes a sense of strength and pride as she cradles the carved wooden club in her hands. The club, known as a mere, is a symbol of power and status within Maori society. The greenstone, or Pounamu, used to create this mere originated from the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand, making it a valuable and cherished possession. The intricately carved design on the mere reflects the exceptional craftsmanship of the Maori carvers. The wood and stone blend harmoniously, creating a striking contrast against the woman's dark skin and the muted tones of the photograph. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to connect with the history and traditions of the Maori people. The Te Arawa people are an iwi (tribe) of the Maori, with a rich and complex history. They are believed to have originated from the Bay of Plenty and the Rotorua area, and their name translates to 'the canoe of the little canoe.' This photograph serves as a testament to their enduring connection to their land, their culture, and their heritage.
