Notice du musée : Extract from letter headed « Shotover, College Avenue, Epsom » By Waterhouse.P.L On 14 8 1932 – « one large spade shaped wooden implement, carved all over the flat with the usual zig-zag carving and with a number of small figures of men occurring at intervals. I always understood this to be some sort of sacrificial memento mori, each human figure representing a human sacrifice. These have been in the possession of my father & myself later since the early cannibal days of Fiji; – they were sent from there by my uncle who was one of the first missionaries in the islands in the 1840s to my father in Tasmania ».
