Crafted from a solid piece of recycled native NZ Rimu timber, this keepsake box is adorned with an engraved design inspired by kape rua, a pattern often seen on the rafters of Whare Tupuna (Ancestral Houses). In this context, it symbolizes unity, togetherness, and the importance of whanau (family). By merging contemporary form with Māori artistry, this piece seamlessly bridges the present with ancestral heritage, exuding authenticity and deep cultural significance.
Proudly made in Aotearoa, NZ.
