Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
`This is a highly detailed analysis of Maori tribal art styles ... Well-produced and quite an attractive book even for the non-specialist, it is an unmistakably major - indeed massive - contribution to its subject. It preserves distinctions and traditions which are in the process of being obliterated forever, and it is a valuable design resource, not least, perhaps, for future Maoris.' Phil Baker,
