Research Report

บทคัดย่อ

This report aims to document a Maori treasure box – a unique object within the Museum of London’s collection. It was probably made within a Maori context, in New Zealand (Aotearoa), but eventually came to be owned by the antiquarian Thomas Layton (1819-1911). Since 1959 it has been on long-term loan from the Thomas Layton Memorial and Museum Trust to the London Museum and, since 1975, to the Museum of London (MOL).

This report focuses on four main areas of research:

• Dating and provenancing the object: This will focus on the Maori tribe that may have carved the object, when and from where it may have originally left New Zealand, and under what circumstances.

• Thomas Layton: Ascertaining how Layton may have acquired the object and what the objectreveals about Layton as a collector of his time.

• Layton’s Collection: Qualifying and quantifying the object within the Layton collection.

• Current contexts: Perspectives on treasure boxes within the London Maori community and how this informs object interpretation and use by the MOL today.
