Maori Sculpture - Ninesprings Yeovil

Image: © Sarah Smith Taken: 13 Jul 2009

The Somerset District Council commissioned New Zealand artist Selwyn Price to sculpture eight figures of the Maori gods to form a barrier between the carpark and the footpath at Ninesprings. This sculpture appears to be Take-Muhuta, judging from the name at its base, father of the forests, trees and birds and also god of craftsmen.
