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 Art
Rock drawings seem to have been particularly prone to this - borrowings appearing on fabrics, glassware, ceramics,postage stamps and even matchboxes. O'Regan discusses this use in the context of cultural property[1].

Maori Other
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.
