Beschreibung:

A MOA BIRD BONE, 16th century or earlier, New Zealand, the Moa bird leg bone, 26cm long Provenance: Errol Fuller, author of 'The Dodo: From Extinction to Icon'. Moas are among the most celebrated of all extinct birds. They were found only in New, Zealand and were the tallest of all known birds, reaching heights of up to 4 metres. It is not known when they died out; they were probably gone by the 16th century, although there were rumours that some were seen in the early 1800s. Although, many skeletons exist in museums, bones in private hands are rare and this example represents a rare opportunity to acquire a memento of this remarkable extinct species.
