Our beautiful Waitaiki is on display as part of the Hākui Exhibition at the Otago Museum. She will be on display for six months.

Carved by our cuzzy, Turi Gibb, he spent a lot of his time making this wahine ātaahua come to life in our precious taonga.

If you missed the unveiling please find the time to go see her if you are down that way – she is definitely a sight to see.

Turi Gibb also carved special taonga for our tāua which were made out of the same stone. Ngā mihi ki a koe Turi Gibb for all your hard work and time – it has all paid off.
