Meyer Maori gift to Dutch museum
TO mark 20 years as a TEFAF exhibitor, Paris tribal art dealer Anthony Meyer has donated a rare Maori artwork to the Museum voor Voolkenkunde in Leiden.
The exceptional kauri wood canoe bailer, thought to be the work of the master carver Raharuhi Rukupo or one of his students, was made in the Gisbourne area of the North Island, New Zealand c.1850.
