Description: Shows 14 views of Maori domestic life, including tools, clothing and household receptacles. Accompanying page of text (C-170-002-1) lists the numbered items as follows: 1. Mode of fishing with nets on Lake Taupo: the fish, which are still small, are caught in a seine with very fine meshes, and a pole about 20 feet long, with tufts of grass fastened at the end, to drive the fish into the net. 2. A fishing weir, or eel pah, on the river Mokau. 3. Wooden fish-hook. 4. Fish-hook generally in use, made of wood, with a layer of pawa [i.e. paua], or pearl shell (Haliotis), and the hook formed of human bone. A feather of the kivi kivi (Apteryx Australis) is fastened at the extremity. The lines are of flax and, as these hooks dangle astern of the canoes, the glittering appearance of the pawa attracts the fish. 5. Kupenga, or eel trap, formed of twigs, from Mokau. 6. Ko, a wooden spade, for rooting up ferns, and preparing the ground for plantations. 7. A pestle for beating flax, formed of volcanic trap. 8. Wooden flute, one of the orifices of which is tattooed to resemble the lips of a woman. 9.
