Papa Huia - Puhoro

This recycled native NZ Rimu timber box features an engraved design inspired by the traditional pūhoro pattern that adorns waka (canoes) and is seen in Ta Moko. By blending contemporary form with classic Māori artistry and flair, it resonates with both the present and the past, exuding authenticity and deep cultural significance.

The pūhoro design is reminiscent of the ripples and swirls created by a paddle strike, propelling the waka through water. It symbolises agility, speed, and dexterity, qualities essential for a warrior. Additionally, the design represents movement, journey, and the momentum of life. 

Proudly made in Aotearoa, NZ.
