Archaeological Kitsch
Archaeological items of iconic status become the subject of modern copies and re-use of the imagery. New Zealand items are not immune.
Maori
Rock drawings seem to have been particularly prone to this - borrowings appearing on fabrics, glassware and stamps. O'Regan discusses this use in the context of cultural property[1].

Colonial
Barry Curtis Park in south Auckland has volcanic rock walls, reconstructed from a nearby farm site. The unfortunate result is what happens when landscape architecture captures archaeological reconstruction.
