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.

They could actually staff their stores properly - provide customer service at the same time as deterring shoplifting… rather than relying on racist technology and police resources. They’ll be losing more $ to poor service than shoplifting.

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.
