HEI TIKI | PŌHUTUKAWA ❤️🌿

Whakapapa • Aroha • Strength • Remembrance

Inspired by the beauty and wairua of the Pōhutukawa, these three individually handcrafted Hei Tiki each carry their own kōrero.

The Pōhutukawa holds a special connection to whakapapa, tūpuna, strength and remembrance — its roots holding firm to the whenua, while its crimson blossoms bring beauty, aroha and life.

❤️ Te Wairua o te Pōhutukawa — The Spirit of the Pōhutukawa
🌿 Te Kākano o Papatūānuku — The Seed of Papatūānuku
🤍 Te Rangimārie o te Pōhutukawa — The Peace of the Pōhutukawa

Three unique taonga, each created by hand and carrying its own expression of wairua, whakapapa and connection to te taiao.
