to go under Webb's auctioneers hammer next week
A collection of indigenous artefacts, including tāonga Māori, have returned to Aotearoa to be sold, ensuring they "never leave home's shores again".
The largest auction house in Aotearoa, Webb's, is displaying its "Material Culture" live auction of expatriated tāonga at its Auckland premises next week.
Webb's director of decorative arts Ben Erren says the tāonga were exported decades ago, and returning them to Aotearoa is an important and necessary task.
