My wife and I were on a beach in the Wellington area and found this at a car park, in the grass.
It is approximately the size of a person's hand,made of bone, and intricately carved.
I've masked the lower half,as only the legitimate owner will be able to fully describe it.

I was pleased to see RBNZ governor Anna Breman appears to have integrity to support an international peer. More than Ministers in NZ govt are showing.

Worst NACT act of the week ? Passing the Regulatory Stds Bill into law despite 99% of 156,000 submissions opposed to a bill spearheaded by a party with just 8.64% of the people’s vote. This is not democracy and it really saddens me.
