NO BIDS FOR PORTRAIT OF MAORI CHIFTAIN
Offered at a starting price of £SOO, a Goldie painting of the head of the Maori Chief, Te Aho O Te Rangi Wharepu, failed to attract a bidder in a Wellington auctioneer’s rooms last week. The portrait brought slightly less than £SOO at an auction at Parnell six months ago. A participant in many raids in the Taranaki district, Te Aho was a 'high ranking chief of the Ngatitipa and allied Waikato tribes.. • Hundreds of Ngatiawa people were killed or enslaved following his capture of Pukerangiora Pa in Taranaki. He died in 1911 and was buried on Taupdri. Mountain in th'e royal burial ground.
