Archaeological Kitsch
Archaeological items of iconic status become the subject of modern copies and re-use of the imagery. New Zealand items are not immune.
Maori Rock Art
|
Rock drawings seem to have been particularly prone to this - borrowings appearing on fabrics, glassware, ceramics, postage stamps and even matchboxes. O'Regan discusses this use in the context of cultural property[1].
 A scarf with many images from rock art.
|
Maori Other
 An execrable souvenir of the 1940 Centennial Exhibition. Perhaps not archaeological - a Birmingham made badge representing the Hinemoa and Tutanekai gateway at the Model Pa, Whakarewarewa. It doesn't include a kiwi! This sold for $113.99 on Trademe so it awfullness was certainly appreciated.The gateway itself is an example of bowdlerisation of Maori carving.  Someone's idea of a nephrite adze - for sale as a replica on TradeMe |
Colonial
|
Barry Curtis Park in South Auckland has volcanic rock walls, reconstructed from a nearby farm site. The unfortunate result is what happens when landscape architecture captures archaeological reconstruction.
 Reconstructed walls
