Here is a collection of the most unusual Maori or pre-Maori artifacts and objects I have found since beginning an internet exploration of various museum archives in January. (click to enlarge)

Now these are not the usual items you would expect to see in a museum collection of Maori artifacts. In fact some you will never ever see on display and some no longer exist.
