Maori Cloak

58 Maori Cloak 560

Can only stay here for a while because the light will damage me. That’s why I’m packed away like this most of the time. I’m made of kiwi and kaka feathers, but really I’m the threatened species! If the light doesn’t get me, pests will. They don’t even know where I came from originally, but I’m one of 350 beautiful cloaks the museum holds. So take your time looking at me, you won’t see me again for a while.
