W. J. Phillipps examines the forms and traditions of Māori rafter decoration and tāniko weaving, bringing together drawings, examples and discussion of their patterns. The book considers the designs associated with meeting houses and textile work, showing how recurring shapes and arrangements contribute to these distinctive art forms. Drawing on examples of traditional work, it provides a visual record as well as an introduction to the subject. This reissued study, originally published in 1946, offers readers interested in Māori art, design and material culture an accessible reference to patterns documented in that period.
