‘Tawhiwhi’

When translated meaning

‘Jasmine’.

Adult Full Length Kahu.

 

'Tawhiwhi', a combination of aqua greens and blue hues, topped with white feathers then finished with white feathered ends, and an aqua taniko band.

The colours of 'Moana Nui' are a representation of the deep Oceans/Moana hues bringing the colours of the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea into one kahu.

Sybolic of the mighty green hues that connect NZ and Australia through the wild and treachourous Tasman Sea, to the crystal blue hues our great Pacific Ocean, which connect us too our wider Pacifica cousins.

Each body of water majestic in its own right, as it laps our bountiful shoreline. With its rolling white capped waves exhaling a parting breath of sea spray as it recedes, to lap upon the shore and breathe life once again.

 

The softness of pure white, the richness of colour in the royal blue & aqua green coque feathers, give this stunning taonga real appeal.

The taniko pattern applied is the ‘Patiki’ it represents the ‘Flounder’. It’s form is symbolic of abundance and blessings by bestowing good luck and prosperity. The band is woven from top quality NZ wool and also locally sourced.

    To the bearer... it is advised that "Less is More"

    Each handmade taonga is truly an art piece.

    Kuia creates delicate works of art and it is advisable that one should not bend, fold, scrunch, rest or sit upon the feathers as this will cause unecessary damage to feathers. Respectfully due to the nature of the product, over time with wear and tear feathers will deterriorate, becoming brittle and causing breakage of the delicate fibres - especially with exessive use - this will exponentiate the process even quicker.

    My husband, Koro, would add here... 'just treat her delicately like you would a lady, caress her with gentleness and treat her with respect and she will last a lifetime!'
