Sally Ridge is marketing her Grey Lynn villa using a photograph exposing a controversial golliwog doll.
Images on a real estate website show the golliwog in a bedroom of Ridge's Auckland home, which goes to auction on February 22.
The word "Black" is written in vertical lettering on a wall
in the same bedroom.
Kellands agent Martin Dobson said the golliwog was not deliberately placed or staged in marketing shots. "I didn't even notice it," he said.
In August the sale of golliwog dolls at Auckland Airport created a furore when Outkast rapper Big Boi tweeted a picture of them.
