Standing male figure; made of wood (probably ironwood) and coir. Late 18th-early 19th century. 69 x 15.5 x 70.5 cm. This may be a depiction of the Rarotongan god Te Rongo and his three sons. However, it has also been suggested that the figure represents the Polynesian god of creation, Tangaroa. ET Oc,LMS.169
