Description

Ta moko, the tattooing of the Maori, is not ornament but record: descent, rank and history of a person, cut into the skin. D. R. Simmons, long at the Auckland Museum, was the first to set it out thoroughly.

What is inside

Early drawings by European travellers, photographs, museum objects, and the meaning of the individual line patterns. Simmons was awarded the M.B.E. for his services to the Maori and to museums.
