Pahīatua Museum would like to know more about this piece.
It was found in amongst some of the collection at the museum, but apart from a date in one corner and some initials in another corner, the owner or original maker of the piece is a mystery.
From the inscribed date, it appears it was made in the early 20th century.
If you have any information which can help the museum, you can email them at pahiatuamuseum@gmail.com.
