Item Details

Description

Maori, New Zealand
Flax, kiwi feathers, tui feathers, and kereru feathers
121 x 87 cm

Provenance:
Owston Collection, Sydney
Bonhams, Sydney, The Owston Collection, 25 June 2010, lot 734
Property from a Princely collection

Kahu kiwi were worn as symbols of chieftainship or high birth during important events, such as funerals and marriages. They are considered the most prestigious of feather cloaks because of the significance of the kiwi as New Zealand's national emblem.
Maori traditionally regarded kiwis as the protected birds of Tāne Mahuta (god of the forest), and, accordingly, they were hunted sparingly for their meat, skin, and feathers.
Because of the kiwis' special status, only chiefs were allowed to eat kiwi meat and wear the soft kahu kiwi.
