Wharepuni at Koriniti (Corinth), Wanganui River, 1884 - 1885
Scope and Contents
198 x 135 mm. An interior view of this now dismantled house, with painted rafters and carved wooden statues holding up the central supporting poles. The house no longer exists, W.J. Phillips in ‘Carved Maori Houses’, (Wellington, 1955), using the same photograph of the interior. Burton’s use of the word Wharepuni seems inexact in these pictures, this term referring to houses with earth piled up at the sides for warmth.
