Symbolism in Maori Storehouses. It is common for the bargeboards of a large storehouse to depict a number of men hauling a whale ashore. The uppermost figure holds the tail of the whale and appears to be presenting it to the chief, represented by the tekoteko, the carved figure at the apex of the building.
