Your Koru
All Pounamu is sacred and highly valued by Ngāi Tahu, the most southern tribe of Aotearoa, New Zealand. Carving this sacred stone has been a cornerstone of our culture for hundreds of years and we are honoured that you have chosen to adorn yourself with this most sacred gift.
Literally meaning 'curl' these taonga depict an unfurling fern. In Māori culture, the young shoots of the fern symbolise new life, growth and rejuvenation.
Carved by Aaron Tauwhare.
