The 21st Key Tradition
21 is the age that a person in New Zealand is classed as an adult, and the giving of the 21st key is a strong New Zealand tradition to symbolize opening the door of maturity and becoming an adult. Alternatively, the giving of a key is a symbol of the limitless doors they can open in their life.
This is a contemporary artwork displaying many common Polynesian designs and artwork styles with intricate design and embellished with Mother of Pearl and Paua shell. The Polynesian 21st Celebration Key is crafted from recycled Native New Zealand Rimu veneerboard, medium density fibreboard (mdf) and Gaboon veneer plywood
