Kete
Maua ko nga kete
Ko Beth Tauroa toku ingoa,
No Pohara Paa ahau,
He Uri ahau no Waikato.
Kete: Ko Mathew McIntyre Wilson te kairaranga o tenei kete, he uri ia no Taranaki, no Nga Mahanga, me Titahi hoki, nana tonu enei kete i hanga mai.
I rarangahia ai enei taonga ki te waea kappa me te waea hiriwa hoki.
He kete enei taonga, he taonga na nga mahi a te whare pora. He kete enei hei whangai i te hinengaro o te iwi, e titiro ana me pehea te whakauru atu I nga ahuatanga hou ki roto i nga mahi toi o enei raa.
Ki oku nei whakaaro he mea nui kia takoto ngatahi nga taonga tuku iho me nga taonga o tea o hurihuri nei. Kia mohio ai he iwi mauritu te iwi Maori, he iwi ihumanea, he ahurea hihiri hoki!

Hi
I don’t understand Maori but would like to know who the weaver is! Just absolutely beautiful work – I am currently flearning the art of weaving and just about to finish my diploma.
Is there a way I could contact you to see some more of your weaving
Many thanks

Mathew McIntyre Wilson is the artist that wove these beautiful kete from copper and silver metals. The Museum has a great online resource, a database which contains 75% of the Museum’s Maori Collection of kete: http://muse.aucklandmuseum.com/databases/general/basicsearch.aspx?dataset=kete.
