Napier, New Zealand
Statue of Pania
The Statue of Pania is located on Marine Parade in Napier, New Zealand, and honours the life of Pania, a figure of Māori mythology. The statue was commissioned by members of the Thirty Thousand Club after the Anglican Bishop of Aotearoa, Frederick Bennett, related the legend of Pania to them. Several students from Hukarere Girls College were photographed as models for the statue, and eventually, Mei Irihapiti Robin, was selected.
