Pukaki - now featuring on the New Zealand 20 cent coin - is one of the most famous Maori carvings. While I still worked at the Auckland Museum a delegation of Japanese people came, and asked me to make a cast of Pukaki for one of the empty pavilions of their big Expo. And they wanted the cast airmailed to Japan.
Sure, while not? Here the cast had not been painted yet in the exact colours of the original.
