Bone Manaia Heru (s)

This beautiful heru is hand-carved from beef-bone. Many of these are finished in traditional Maori designs while others are more contemporary. Our bone carvers go the extra mile to create true stunning wearable art. These can only be made from the largest pieces of bone, so supply is limited. For M?ori, the huia feather was revered as a symbol of nobility, leadership, and hierarchy. The white-tipped tail feathers were worn as head adornments to signify chiefs and people of great mana (authority and power). Size approximately 195 L x 34 W (mm)
