Kowhaiwhai are traditional patterns characterised by their flowing, curvilinear appearance. These patterns are a prominent feature in Māori art and decoration, most commonly associated with the painted adornments on the rafters of wharenui (Māori meeting houses). They hold deep symbolic meaning, representing various natural elements, stories, tribal lineage, and other cultural concepts important to Māori.
