Dim light gives an ominous cast to a poupou (wall post) depicting an ancestor, from Hotunui, a carved meeting house of the Ngati Maru people, Thames, New Zealand. This house was built in 1878 by Ngati Awa carvers from Whakatane, as a wedding present when Mereana Mokomoko, an aristocratic woman of their tribe, married Wirope Hoterene Taipari, a Ngati Maru leader. The house is now in the Auckland War Memorial Museum. Photo by uploader, 20 May 2006, no rights reserved. Kahuroa 18:53, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
