Koru, the quintessential Māori pattern, represents growth, transformation, potential, and peace. Taken from the fern frond found throughout the forests of Aotearoa, koru represent the growth and transformation, the potential and peace found in the whenua (land). They are gifts of love and friendship.
This koru was carved by Yuki Tanaka from Inanga pounamu sourced from Arahura River of Te Wai Pounamu, Aotearoa. It measures 58mm in diameter, has a matte finish, and is bound with an adjustable hand-braided cord.
