Horatio Gordon Robley's Hilarious Hall of Heads



Mokomokai. Or I thought about calling it: Horatio Gordon Robley and His Hilarious Hall of Heads.

Mokomokai are the preserved heads of the Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand. They became valuable trade items during the Musket Wars of the 19th century. Horatio Gordon Robley was pictured with his large collection. This painting was inspired by that photograph.
Acrylic on canvas panel 11" x 14"
