Te Tiki o Tamamutu, carved between 1860 and 1870 is the only privately owned whare whakairo in existence carved by legendary master carver Wero Taroi who trained Tene Waitere, one of New Zealand's great 20th century carvers. Due to its national importance the current owner wishes to divest themselves of the responsibility of guardianship.
