A Maori Woman

Hinepare, a woman of the Ngāti Kahungunu tribe. Shows a half-length portrait of a Maori woman wearing a hei-tiki around her neck, pounamu earring and shark tooth earring, and two huia feathers in her hair. She wears a cloak with black fringe border, and has a moko design on her chin. Circa 1890 Artist Lindauer, Gottfried, 1839-1926

I have a strong fascination for Maori culture and folklore.

That is so neat. I am obsessed with my family genealogy, and love old pictures of any kind.

Happy WW!
