The Sotheby's Chatsworth Attic Sale of 20,000 objects was held last week, to great interest and purchase. Of New Zealand interest was this hei-tiki (estimated at £7,000), found hidden in the back of a cupboard. It sold for an astonishing £45,650. It was possibly acquired in the early 19th Century by the 6th Duke of Devonshire.
