"MaoriLand"

My best collection from Saturdays garage sale-ing: A hand painted Royal Winton, Grimwades Ltd, England called "MaoriLand". Depicts a scene of an old fortified Maori pa (17-1800's), with a pallisade fence erected for defence against the enemy, note the sharp points to discourage attackers from entering the Pa (Maori village), a carved waharoa or gateway, 2 pou (poles), the carvings are in honour of ancestors, in the background is a geyser gushing natural steam from the ground and an old favourite a native cabbage tree stands in the foreground.
