Chief Maori Postage Postal Seal Sealing Stamp Stamps Surrounded Tribal Warrior Zealand


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the regal presence of Te Heuheu Tureiti Tukino V (Hepi Te Heuheu), a prominent Maori chief and warrior from New Zealand. The photograph, taken in 1906, showcases Te Heuheu in traditional tribal attire, adorned with intricate tattoos that mark his status and heritage. The red seal and surrounding stamps on the bottom of the image add an intriguing layer of history, suggesting that this portrait was once used as a postcard or perhaps even a postage stamp. Te Heuheu was a highly respected leader among his people, hailing from the Ngati Tuwharetoa iwi (tribe) of the North Island. He played a significant role in the Maori King Movement, advocating for the rights and autonomy of his people in the face of increasing European influence. This portrait serves as a powerful reminder of the rich cultural heritage and resilience of the Maori people during a pivotal period in New Zealand's history. The use of stamps and a red seal on this photograph adds an interesting postal connection to the image. It's possible that this portrait was used as a promotional postcard or even a sealing wax stamp for official correspondence during the early 20th century. Regardless of its exact purpose, this unique photograph offers a captivating glimpse into the past, showcasing the proud and unwavering spirit of Te Heuheu Tureiti Tukino V and the Maori people.
