Do you know why this statue took a while to repair?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A bronze chief has had $15K in repairs more than a decade after his taiaha was broken and his patu taken.

A bronze chief has had $15K in repairs more than a decade after his taiaha was broken and his patu taken.

The statue, Te Rangatira, was created by sculptor Michael Weir for the Waihī Streetscape 2000. He was commissioned by the Hauraki District Council to create a rangatira (Māori chief) holding a taiaha (spear) and “striking the ground from which water gushed”.

Finding a company that could do the repairs was part of the reason for the delay, the council said.
