The carved amo which have framed the Savage Club Hall stage for decades have been returned to their "rightful home".
A group of about 15 people from Tieke marae, upriver of Pipiriki, received the amo on Thursday during a ceremony at the hall, Whanganui Musicians' Club co-chair John Keating said.
"We're happy they've been returned to their rightful home," he said.
Two weeks ago the hall was sold to the musicians' club for $1, but the club was unaware that Whanganui Regional Museum had been in discussions with the Savage Club about retrieving memorabilia from the iconic venue, Mr Keating said.
So it came as a bit of a shock when the club found out this week that items would be removed from what is now their building.
