Description: Kōhatu Mauri – Touschstone
This natural Aotearoa river stone features a carved design inspired by Moko Kauae. It merges modern techniques with classic Māori aesthetics, resulting in a piece that is both contemporary and nostalgic, exuding authenticity and cultural significance.
Moko Kauae is not just a traditional chin tattoo worn by Māori women; it holds profound cultural, spiritual, and personal significance. It represents whakapapa (genealogy), ancestral ties, rank, and individual accomplishments. The word “Tuakiri” in Māori translates to “identity.”
